Page 1 Delivering the Curriculum Through Creativity™ Introduction Digital Video is a contributory factor in improving the pace of learning allowing young people to explore their interests and talents, to develop and extend learning and communication through innovative ideas. Digital video offers unique opportunities for them to communicate their learning experience through the medium of moving images. At Kudlian we have looked at ways in which we might use our considerable experience in producing award winning, high quality educational software, to extend the exciting new developments in DV into education. More specifically, to try to introduce it into the whole curriculum and not just via a media studies conduit, but through all curriculum areas. The result is I Can Animate.
