To mark our seventieth anniversary in 2018, Learning on Screen together
with Birkbeck, University of London is pleased to announce a two-day
conference exploring the history of teaching and learning with the
moving image.

Formal education in many contexts increasingly relies on screen-based
media, and there are active debates about the appropriate uses and
efficacy of many forms of digital applications for learning. But it can
be argued that current practice lacks a historical understanding of
practices for learning with screens that stretch back at least to the
interwar period. And while in the United States researchers have begun
to investigate productively the uses of film and television in schools
and similar institutions, its production contexts and reception (as is
evidenced by the collections *Useful Cinema* (2011) and *Learning with
the Lights Off* (2012)), such research in Britain remains comparatively
underdeveloped.

Lights, camera, learning aims to bring together film and television
historians with those engaged with the history of educational practice
and policy and with practitioners past and present, to explore how film
and television with explicit educational aims has been argued for,
produced, funded, distributed, shown, received, discussed and understood
over the past century in Britain.

**The conference will address in particular three strands of this
history:**

- Production, content and technologies of screen-based educational media
- Classroom practice and pedagogies for the reception and use of film
  and television
- Policy debates and determinations about the place and value of moving
  image media in formal education

Proposals for 20-minute panel papers are invited covering all aspects of
the histories of teaching and learning in schools, universities and
other institutions with and from moving image media, including:

- The history of pedagogical practice with moving image media within
  formal education
- Development and dissemination of techniques for using moving images in
  education
- Understandings of the educational value of moving images
- Religious and social concerns about the use of films in education
- Government initiatives supporting the promotion and production of
  moving images for education
- Founding of the BUFC in 1948, and the subsequent development of BUFVC
  and Learning on Screen, together with its activities, services and
  publications
- The role of the British Film Institute in developing educational
  moving image media
- The production of 16mm films for educational use, including the work
  of individual producers and production companies
- Television production for schools, and the development of schools
  broadcasts by the BBC and ITV companies
- Case studies of the creation and use of specific films and television
  productions
- Media production after 1969 by the Open University, its dissemination
  and use
- Distribution services for moving image media to education
- The acquisition, use and maintenance of projectors, television sets
  and video recorders in institutions
- Reception studies of educational moving image media
- Integration of moving images with the curriculum
- Production and dissemination of moving images by teachers and students
- Legislation governing moving image media in schools, colleges and
  universities
- Changing attitudes to permissions and copyright including the
  establishment of the ERA licence
- Guides for the use of film and television in classrooms
- Critical writing and theory about the use of moving image media in
  education
