An innovative online off-air TV and radio recording service for education
The University subscribes to BoB (Box of Broadcasts) National to help enrich teaching and learning with moving image and sound. BoB enables all staff and students to record any upcoming programme from over 60 TV and radio channels. It also allow users to search a growing archive of media (currently more than 1 million programmes).
We, the Main Library Helpdesk staff, are running 2 BoB sessions, as part of our pop-up library events. Please ‘pop up’ to the 1st floor, Main Library, to discover more about BoB National.
The 2 sessions will be on:
Thursday 2 Oct 2pm – 4pm
Thursday 16 Oct 10am – 12noon
We will demonstrate how to:
- access this service
- choose and record upcoming programmes
- request missed programmes from a 30 day buffer
- edit programmes into clips
- search BBC and other archives
- create playlists
- and much more!
