In fact, the new channel offers high-quality resources for learners of all ages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Education Channel as it stands today attends to the needs of a diverse global audience, providing engaging, leading-edge educational programming across the lifespan,\u201d said Morgan Appel, assistant dean of UC San Diego Extension\u2019s Education and Community Outreach (ECO) Department, which supports the channel\u2019s programming.<\/p>\n<p>The Education Channel evolved from UCTV\u2019s STE+aM Channel, which focused on science, technology, engineering, arts and math. The new channel incorporates STEAM-related content but covers a much broader range of education-related topics and serves a wider audience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Education Channel can perhaps be best characterized as the next logical step in our work in television,\u201d Appel explained. \u201cThis transition was in the works but was given a sense of urgency and accelerated as a result of the onset of the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Content for the channel draws on an impressive pool of experts, including faculty from UC San Diego and across the University of California System, as well as Extension instructors. Contributors also include community partners, such as schools and nonprofit groups, and recognized authorities in education, public policy and more. Most programming is underwritten by ECO; the Girard Foundation and other organizations also provide support.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few examples of resources you\u2019ll find on the Education Channel:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uctv.tv\/education\/staying-sane\/\">Staying Sane: Tips for Parents in Unprecedented Times<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 This video series from educators Shelli Kurth and Nicole Assisi offers advice, encouragement and inspiration for families struggling with distance learning.
