The BBC has launched iWonder, a new digital service to boost its anniversary coverage of World War I with additional interactive content. Eight iWonder interactive guides have appeared online today with plans to introduce a further 17 by the end of January, covering everything from the trenches to propaganda.
The BBC has launched a new brand called iWonder which it hopes will unlock the learning potential from its wide-ranging content. Starting today, and designed to coincide with the BBC’s World War One season, the iWonder brand will kick off by offering eight interactive guides focused on World War One that have been curated by experts and BBC presenters like Dan Snow and Kate Adie. The Beeb says there should be 17 additional guides online by the end of the month and that ultimately it should play home to more than 100 interactive offerings looking at different aspects of the war.
