Google to be used in exams? | May 2015
CEO of OCR Mark Dawe suggests pupils use Google in exams
Interview with the Daily Telegraph led to widespread coverage.
We arranged for CEO of OCR, Mark Dawe, to be interviewed exclusively by the Daily Telegraph Education Editor, Javier Espinoza. While their discussion covered many themes, Javier focussed his article on Mark's views on using Google in examinations.
The story was picked up by hundreds of publications in the UK and internationally. Major media outlets are listed with links below, with particular emphasis on national coverage in the UK. Regional, broadcast and international coverage was also widespread - for example, the story was covered in over a dozen local newspapers across the UK and by some African news channels. The links below represent typical coverage.
