Twig World Limited is an educational company that offers digital content via a subscription service. The majority of its content is film-based, providing thousands of short (three-minute) films. These are accompanied by learning materials for students and teachers. The service is targeted at students aged between 7 and 16.〔http://www.bettshow.com/page.cfm/Action=exhib/exhibID=261/PageOption=Rapport "BETT Show 2014 Twig World", retrieved 29 Nov 2013〕 Twig films are created to cover curriculum content using documentary footage from major archives (including the BBC Motion Gallery, NASA, Science Photo Library, and Getty Images among others)〔http://twig-it.com/credits "Credits", retrieved 20 April 2012.〕 as well as self-produced graphics and animations. ==History== Twig first launched its digital content at the BETT show in January 2011. Initially 250 films were available, covering aspects of chemistry, biology, physics and earth science. The films were around three minutes long and aimed at students aged between 10 and 16. There are now thousands of 3-minute films available in science, geography and maths. Each film comes with support learning materials including transcripts, quizzes and downloadable images. Prior to Twig’s public launch in January 2011, the company was known as LL Online. LL Online worked in conjunction with Learning Teaching Scotland.〔http://www.educationscotland.gov.uk/newsandevents/educationnews/2010/pressreleases/april/news_tcm4597240.asp "New education resources bring jobs to Scotland", 19 April 2010.〕 To date, Twig has continued to work with Learning Teaching Scotland (now renamed Education Scotland), and renewed its contract to supply the resource as part of Glow (Scottish Schools National Intranet) for a further three years in December 2011.〔http://www.mynewsdesk.com/uk/view/pressrelease/award-winning-glasgow-company-renews-contract-with-education-scotland-736828 "Award-winning Glasgow company renews contract with Education Scotland", 28 February 2012.〕 Twig is known as GlowScience in Scotland and is available to all Glow users.
