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.
