| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Educational institutions would love to be able to go as far and wide, and fun, with information as On The Spot does. Schools fall into single subject tracks in middle and high school. Linking information to multiple experiences is more effective for learning, so imagine how effective a program can be when it links information across King Tut, Stonehenge, aliens, camping, biking and food. Which is what On The Spot does. Well researched facts on highinterest topics delivered with bright, fast, visuals will feed the interests of a broad audience group, but the approach does particularly well for the 13-16 year old target audience. Archeology, science and astronomy become fascinating by the clever culling of information. The programs are built with an approach that, on the surface appears to be directed for adults. But Pete Sepenuk's narrative tone and style, light and fascinated, matches and holds the attention of the target audience. And, once it holds attention, what On The Spot does very well is deliver excellent informational content. And for the target audience, it is essential that the information is not dumbed down. It is On The Spot. The program is peppered with breakout segments designed to be interactive, calling for the viewer to respond. These include the Speed Round (with ticking clock graphic), Clinical or Cynical and Solved or Unsolved. The segments keep this from being passive viewing, another nice point when targeting viewers with information and education. |
