•

1 like•1,047 views

Slides from my presentation at the OUP Bioscience symposium in Belfast (September 2015) describing the Biology on the Box project, a resource for sharing TV programmes appropriate for teaching

Education

Biology on the Box: What?
• Recommendations for TV (and radio) footage that
can used for enriching bioscience teaching
• Primarily designed for use in conjunction with “Box
of Broadcasts” – subscription service
• Programme tips equally valid without BoB, just
harder to get hold of
• A collaborative project
- students as producers
- different institutions

Biology on the Box: Why?
• TV clips can be used in class in variety of ways
- to help scene-setting
- to convey factual information
- as discussion starters
• Contribute to “flipped teaching”
e.g. require students to have watched footage
before F2F session
• Assessed activity
e.g. evaluating documentaries (Jon Scott)

What is BoB?
• Box of Broadcasts
• Giant TiVo box for education
“An online, off-air TV and radio archive
& recording service from BUFVC”
• > 1 million TV & radio programmes
• > 60 TV & radio channels (30 day buffer)
• All BBC content since 2007
• All staff & students (inc. 5 orders-per-day)
• Clips & playlists
• UK only (issues re Distance Learning)
• Subscription

BoB
• Fantastic tool, not perfect
• Key weakness = discovery/rediscovery
• Additional resource for sharing best practice
- more metadata & keywords
- scope to describe usage of resource
• Hence launched Biology on the Box

As Seen On TV: Using broadcast media in bioscience teaching

Chris Willmott

Slides from presentation given at the Society for Experimental Biology annual meeting in Brighton (UK). The presentation is similar to one given the previous week at the STEM Horizons conference. To reflect the more international audience, the content is slightly altered, with a little more emphasis on use of broadcast media in general and less emphasis on Box of Broadcasts (given that the latter is a UK-specific service).

So you want your students to produce digital video: some practical guidance

Chris Willmott

These slides formed part of a workshop at the 3rd Science Learning and Teaching Conference organised by science subject centres of the Higher Education Academy (UK). The Conference took place at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh in June 2009. The workshop was based on our experience organising two distinct projects in which students produce digital video. In one, students keep a video diary of their experience as an undergraduate. In the second, students produce short videos about a bioethical topic they have been assigned. The video content is not included as part of this presentation. (c) Chris Willmott and Chris Cane, 2009

These are slides from a staff development workshop I ran at the University of Leicester, UK in September 2014 (they are lightly developed from an earlier version, from July, also available on slideshare). The main purpose of the session was to introduce colleagues to Box of Broadcasts, a tool for streaming clips of TV and radio programmes for educational purposes. For more on the potential of TV for teaching, also see an article I wrote for the Times Higher Education magazine http://tinyurl.com/pjzbrrb, (http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/comment/opinion/boxing-clever-television-as-a-teaching-tool/2015375.article). Please note that, for copyright reasons, Box of Broadcasts is only available to UK-based students at subscribing institutions.

Use of Multimedia in Bioethics Education

Chris Willmott

This presentation, delivered at the 3rd Cambridge Consortium on Bioethics Education in June 2013, looks at three ways multimedia are being used in teaching bioscience students about bioethics at the University of Leicester, UK. Visual media, primarily short clips, are used in teacher-led sessions. Secondly, students are required to produce their own short films. Thirdly, students write an analysis of a recent news story, which must be available as an online news clip.

Experimental design: smell of fear

Chris Willmott

This slide-show originated at a one-day teaching workshop in January 2011. The event, organised by the Physiological Society was held at the University of Leeds. The slides describe an activity used with undergraduate students at the University of Leicester, in which a short video "the smell of fear" from the popular (and populist) science programme Brainiac is used to introduce the notion of experimental design. This is used hand-in-hand with discussion of a formal scientific paper on the same topic. This set of slides is to talk about the activity. There is a second set with a similar title http://www.slideshare.net/cjrw2/experimental-design-the-smell-of-fear which are intended for use by anyone actually using the activity to teach experimental design. The colour of the background to the slides in the current presentation is significant - the purple slides are ABOUT the activity, the black slides are examples of pages from within the activity.

Chris Willmott

These slides are from a presentation I gave at the Cambridge Consortium for Bioethics Education (Paris, July 2016). Interested parties should note this is most definitely *not* a "how to" guide - the talk describes frustrations regarding engagement with "flipped" videos which the students were expected to watch prior to more interactive lecture slots. Some suggestions for how this might be (partially) resolved in the forthcoming academic year are noted.

web authoring as a pedagogic tool

Chris Willmott

This talk "Web authoring as a pedagogic tool: an example from the biosciences" by Chris Willmott and Jane Wellens was given at the Pushing the Boundaries event in January 2006. The slides describe an activity in which second year undergraduates were asked to produce websites about various bioethical issues. This activity was also described in a paper Willmott CJR and Wellens J (2004) Teaching about bioethics through authoring of websites Journal of biological Education 39:27-31. More recently we have actually replaced this task with an activity in which students produce videos on bioethical topics (see other slideshare presentations or a chronological list at http://lefthandedbiochemist.wordpress.com/talks/). These slides have recently been added here for completion - the site where they were previously available having gone off-line.

Students as Partners: Three Leicester vignettes

Chris Willmott

Slides from my talk prepared for the Working as Partners conference, November 2013. The event was held at the Students' Union of the University of Leicester and looked at a variety of models of collaboration between students and staff in educational developments. My talk picks up on three areas of my work - in the development of a Code of Practice for Student-Staff Committees, and two different assessed activities in which students produce resources about bioethics. The best examples of the latter are made available online for the benefit of the wider community, and hence the students are bona fide developers of new teaching materials.

The days of standing in front of a class / lecture reading from a textbook or research paper are long gone. How do you improve your engagement with today’s students? How can you ensure you are meeting the needs of different learners? The BUFVC’s Box of Broadcasts provides over 1 million TV and radio programmes for use by further and higher education institutions within teaching and learning. All staff and students in a subscribing institution can access the content, anywhere in the UK, to view, record, create clips, embed into VLEs and share. Plus, following a recent upgrade, users can now also view the content on the device they have in their pocket, search rolling transcripts, record missed programmes from a 30 day ‘buffer’, create clip compilations and use a one-click citation to reference programmes in their work. This presentation explore the experiences of two subscribers from both an FE and HE perspective. See how a lecturer uses formerly broadcast TV and radio programmes to add variety to their classes and to engage their students in new ways. And how a further education college made savings by completely changing the way they deliver online access to AV resources since they started using BoB.

Looking for Broadcast Media Resources? BoB's your uncle!

Chris Willmott

These slides were used by Sandy Willmott (University of Lincoln) to introduce delegates at the Making the Most of Broadcast Media to the exciting potential of Box of Broadcast. BoB allows staff and students at subscribing universities to record programmes and to easily pick out clips of particular interest for their teaching and/or learning. In this way it becomes possible to produce "viewing lists" that might accompany "reading lists". This could prove useful in contributing to a "flipped classroom" model of teaching.

Open MOOCS with the Open Education Consortium

Una Daly

Join the Open Education Consortium for this free, open webinar on the use of Open MOOCs to support global learning and certificates. DATE: Tuesday, March 10, 2015 TIME: 10:00 am PST, 1:00 pm EST The MOOC frenzy of a couple years ago has slowed down but the idea of sharing knowledge globally paired with the ability to earn inexpensive completion certificates still resonates. The Open Education community has clarified the definition of “open” in Massive Open Online Course to mean courses featuring open educational resources (OER) that can be re-used freely by learners and educators alike. In this webinar, you will get to hear about OER-based MOOC courses developed by Open Education Consortium members: Tufts University and Scottsdale Community College. Tufts University offered the first in a 2-part MOOC series: The Biology of Water and Health last fall on the edX platform. The course examines critical water-related issues through a global and interdisciplinary lens focusing on the importance of water, sanitation and hygiene to maternal and child nutrition and growth, and encourages participants to explore social, economic, and behavioral dimensions. Hear how Part 1 of the course was developed, opportunities for learner interactions, and the learner outcomes from the first offering of the course. Plans for Part 2 will also be shared and how it will differ based on the experiences of Part 1. A Scottsdale Community College English instructor developed an open MOOC on the Canvas platform to help other faculty find and develop OER materials for Composition and Rhetoric to use in their teaching. Hear how the course helps faculty to understand open licenses and develop their own high-quality OER materials to lower costs for their students and expand access.

Australian Research Study: How Useful Are Closed Captions for Learning?

3Play Media

Adding to the rapid-growing number of studies surrounding closed captioning in higher education, an Australian academic study on how closed captions impact student learning in mathematics has just been released. The study involved 135 students at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney and investigated the perceived level of usefulness that both accurate and automated captions lent in a mathematics course over a 2-month period. It was discovered that students broadly agreed that captions are a useful learning feature allowing flexibility of where and when a video is watched, while helping to understand speaker accents, and clarify explanations that are difficult to hear in the recording. Dr. Chris Tisdell, who is one of two authors on the study, Associate Dean of Education, and Associate Professor of Mathematics at UNSW, will present on the study and main takeaways from the insights as they apply to closed captioning use in higher education everywhere. This presentation will cover: Data & results from the student study Levels of student engagement with closed captions How and why students used closed captions in the study How students perceived the usefulness of accurate vs. automatically-generated captions The percent of overall students responding who report using closed captions as a helpful learning aid Takeaways from the study About the presenter: Chris is Associate Dean (Education) at UNSW Science, a globally-acknowledged leader in digital innovation and technology in education. Chris is driven by the challenges of: scale, personalized learning, and inclusion and diversity in education. His digital and open classroom has positively transformed the learning experience of 10+ million learners in over 200 countries – including those groups who have traditionally faced challenges of participation and success in STEM education. Chris’ thought leadership is regularly featured in the Australian national media.

Levi Shapiro

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg, The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation. This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability. Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots. The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee. • The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act. • The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X. • The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Biology on the Box: Why? • TV clips can be used in class in variety of ways - to help scene-setting - to convey factual information - as discussion starters • Contribute to “flipped teaching” e.g. require students to have watched footage before F2F session • Assessed activity e.g. evaluating documentaries (Jon Scott)

5. What is BoB? • Box of Broadcasts • Giant TiVo box for education “An online, off-air TV and radio archive & recording service from BUFVC” • > 1 million TV & radio programmes • > 60 TV & radio channels (30 day buffer) • All BBC content since 2007 • All staff & students (inc. 5 orders-per-day) • Clips & playlists • UK only (issues re Distance Learning) • Subscription

7. BoB • Fantastic tool, not perfect • Key weakness = discovery/rediscovery • Additional resource for sharing best practice - more metadata & keywords - scope to describe usage of resource • Hence launched Biology on the Box
