BoB's your uncle (2)
Following my previous post on the BoB (Box of Broadcasts) service, I can now confirm that the service is live and available for staff to use to enhance their teaching. The response from the first colleagues I’ve shown it to has been fantastic – one senior academic said it would ‘transform his teaching’.
In order to try it out, go to http://bobnational.net , type ‘Lou’ into the drop-down institution menu, select ‘Loughborough University, and click ‘Go to login’. You’ll then be prompted to type in your standard university account details.
For the moment, you can use this in live teaching – or you can get your students to log in themselves to find a programme you (or someone else) has recorded, or a clip or composite playlist you’ve edited. In due course it will be possible to embed these directly into a Learn module page.
Whatever your discipline, the chances are you’ll find material here suited to UG modules you’re teaching on. What’s more, you can be sure that the material has been fully copyright cleared for use in the teaching room.
