TV for Learning

Box of Broadcasts (BoB) gives students and staff at educational institutions access to TV and radio recordings for educational purposes.
BoB allows you to:

  • View TV and radio programmes from the BBC going back to 2007.
  • Choose and record any upcoming broadcast programme from 75+ TV and radio channels. The recorded programmes will then be kept indefinitely, with all content shared by users across all subscribing institutions. 
  • Record missed programmes from a 30 day buffer.
  • Edit programmes into clips, create playlists, link to clips from Moodle, easily create one-click citations.
