SYLLABUS
Short term actions: assistance welcomed
1. Quality control: Which of the selected videos are insufficiently ‘vital’?
• Accessible: available without any payment or other obstacle
• Clear: easy to understand (consider an ordinary smart 16 year old)
• Engaging: inspires and keeps the attention of viewers
• Precise: addresses the topic in the syllabus, rather than lots of other questions
• Authoritative: has good reason to be trusted
2. Address gaps: Which other videos or other resources to include?
3. Descriptive material: A few sentences about each video in the project
4. Constructive suggestions to increase the impact of the project
• Project objectives, roadmap, architecture, website, or processes
5. Join the project team (formally or informally)
• Slack: londonfuturists.com/education/vital-syllabus/slack/
• London Futurists event, Tues 12 April, 7pm: Open discussion
