TSR fills educational gap with Internet portal
The Western Swiss television station TSR aims to inspire a love of lifelong learning through its website, Tsrdecouverte.ch.
TSR television in French-speaking Switzerland wants to convey the joy of further education with the Tsrdecouverte.ch website. TV programs with educational content, themed dossiers and games are intended to appeal to learning enthusiasts of all ages, reports the news agency SDA. At the end of 2000, the last educational programs were removed from the French-speaking part of Switzerland, and the site is the product of a collaboration between TSR and the Department of Education of French-speaking Switzerland and Ticino, as well as the University of Geneva. The latter intends to produce a dossier on the subject of climate in the near future. The educational institution will also answer questions on genetic engineering. Tsrdecouverte.ch offers content in three sections for the age groups 4 to 12 years, 13 to 16 years and for Internet surfers aged 17 and over. In a fourth section, teachers will find material, particularly on media issues.
