Tutors Charlie Watts, Gary Bown and Katie Still and technicians Stephen Bellinger, Louise Lovesey and Michael Parsons, were all recognised by NewTek, and the academics were named tutors of the year.

The first NewTek UK Education Awards celebrate excellence in students from universities and colleges creating engaging and inspiring videos and live streams.

The Mary Rose Live: Human Endeavours was one of three live broadcasts in June last year from the Mary Rose Museum, in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.

The event, which was the first of its kind for both organisations, saw three live shows shown straight to the Big Screen in Portsmouth’s Guildhall square.
