Slides from a webinar delivered by Dr Chris Willmott (University of Leicester) on behalf of Learning on Screen and Association of Learning Technologists (ALT). Chris discussed the use of Box of Broadcasts (BoB) in university teaching, illustrating the potential with examples from his own practice. He also discussed the emerging potential of BoB as a tool for multimedia research

How the use of multimedia enhances teaching, learning and research
- 1. How the use of multimedia enhances teaching, learning and research Dr Chris Willmott Dept of Molecular & Cell Biology University of Leicester, UK cjrw2@le.ac.uk ALT Webinar (April 2024)
- 2. Overview - Rationale for using broadcast media in teaching - Examples from my practice - Suggestions for sharing: viewing lists, playlists, blogs - Research involving broadcast media - Q&A
- 3. UsingTV for UniversityTeaching Harry and Paul’s Story of the Twos https://tinyurl.com/HarryPaulOU
- 4. Reasons include: - Content not sufficiently “academic” - Worries that technology might fail - Insufficient time in curriculum - Concerns about copyright - Lack of vision for potential uses - Uncertain what is available and/or where to find it Academic Reluctance to Use Media
- 5. - Promote engagement - Illustration of theory or technique - Convey content - Contextualise content - Discussion starter - Promote media-criticism/ science communication Why use AV resources?

- 9. - Provenance: Copyright-cleared - Extensive: ~3 million TV & Radio programmes - Persistence & Consistency - Streaming - Clipping - Tagging: Playlists of your choosing - Searchable Why use BoB?

- 13. Brainiac Science Abuse: The Smell of Fear http://tinyurl.com/SmellOfFear1 (3:28) Example (3): Discussion
- 14. • Students watch short clip describing an experiment to investigate whether you can smell if someone is afraid • Having watched the clip, they discuss: - what was good about the design of the expt? - what was wrong with the experiment? http://tinyurl.com/terrorface1 Example (3): Discussion
- 15. Good aspects of Brainiac expt? • included a negative control (no fear, no sport) • all subjects carried out their activity for same time • all subjects were “sniffed” by same person • all subjects were same gender …but little else is good
- 16. What was wrong with this expt? • only one “sniff-er” • only three “sweat-ers” • was not the same person on crane/running/relaxing • distance nose-to-armpit not same in all cases • may have been other explanations for the observed differences, e.g. • natural body odour differences between the three • use of deodorant • eating of smelly foods • olfactory fatigue/adaptation may have occurred
- 17. Design a better version • work with those sitting near you to design a better experiment looking into whether it is possible to smell fear http://tinyurl.com/armpitsniffing1

- 22. • Difficult to fit full episode into lecture slot • Not best use of F2F time • BoB raises potential for students to watch programme before lecture or tutorial - Viewing lists - Flipped learning Examples (4&5): Context and use
- 23. • Watching Gene Revolution ahead of remote tutorial Example (5): Lockdown teaching
- 24. • Watching Gene Revolution ahead of remote tutorial • Structured question sheets Example (5): Lockdown teaching Various question styles: - Content recall - Additional reading - Rephrasing - Higher order thinking
- 25. • In addition to Reading lists • Required? e.g. prior to tutorial Suggested? e.g. additional input for interested • “Guided Independent Study” in Module Specification • The “Reading Lists” (Talis) tool allows inclusion of links to AV materials, including BoB • Easiest to achieve by adding the Talis Chrome extension https://tinyurl.com/AddTalisExtension Viewing lists

- 27. Adding BoB clip to “Reading List”
- 28. - Viewing lists using Talis are Institution-specific - Playlists within BoB can be shared more widely - Add to multiple playlists (key is re-discoverability) Playlists
- 29. - Since 2020, offering Curated playlists, now = ~100 Curated playlists https://learningonscreen.ac.uk/bob-curated-playlists
- 30. - Curated playlists can include bespoke introductory video and/or links to additional resources Curated playlists https://tinyurl.com/BitMcurated

- 34. • Standard ERA licensing agreements limited to UK • Current pilot project • Items in academic-prepared Playlists can be made accessible for students on UK courses whilst overseas (at the click of a button) • A few restrictions apply - films since 2000 - culturally-sensitive BoB for Offshore Students
- 35. • Recommendations for TV (and radio) footage that can be used for enriching teaching & learning • Programme tips equally valid without BoB, just harder to get hold of • Sharing best practice - metadata & keywords - describe usage • A collaborative project - students as producers - different institutions [Subject]OnTheBox Project
