Episode description

thinkfour is a free online virtual learning platform for Scottish Higher pupils which distils complex sections of the curriculum into four minute videos as presented by experienced teachers.

It is available to all children throughout Scotland and targeted at ages 14-17. Young people are able to upload their own versions of the videos which are vetted by teachers and there is a whole section dedicated to helping parents and carers support their children with their studies.

It is a collaboration between expert teachers, academic specialists in education, and a Glasgow-based award winning digital agency. This independent start-up was funded by The Glasgow Academy of which Matthew Pearce is Rector.
