As Seen On TV: Using broadcast media in bioscience teaching
•
0 likes•692 views
Slides from presentation given at the Society for Experimental Biology annual meeting in Brighton (UK). The presentation is similar to one given the previous week at the STEM Horizons conference. To reflect the more international audience, the content is slightly altered, with a little more emphasis on use of broadcast media in general and less emphasis on Box of Broadcasts (given that the latter is a UK-specific service).

As Seen On TV: Using broadcast media in bioscience teaching
- 1. As Seen OnTV: Using broadcast media in bioscience teaching SEB+ Science CommunicationToolkit (July 2016) Chris Willmott Dept of Molecular and Cell Biology cjrw2@le.ac.uk
- 2. Broadcast Media: Why? • TV clips can be used in class in variety of ways - to help scene-setting - to convey factual information - as discussion starters • Contribute to “flipped teaching” e.g. require students to have watched footage before F2F session • Assessed activity e.g. evaluating documentaries
- 3. Die Another Day Example uses: (1) Scene-setter
- 4. The Cell (2): The Chemistry of Life Example uses: (2) Factual - full
- 5. A Child Against All Odds Example uses: (2) Factual - clip
- 6. Brainiac Science Abuse: The Smell of Fear Example uses: (3) Discussion
- 7. A more scientific approach Prehn-Kristensen et al (2009), PLoS ONE 4(6): e5987 http://tinyurl.com/anxietypaper

- 9. Broadcast Media: Limitations? • How do I know what material useful for teaching? • How do I get hold of that material? • Are there any recommendations about how best to use that material?
- 10. Biology on the Box • Recommendations for TV (and radio) content that can be used for enriching bioscience teaching • Primarily designed for use in conjunction with “Box of Broadcasts” – UK, subscription service • Programme tips equally valid without BoB, just harder to get hold of
- 12. What is BoB? • Box of Broadcasts • Giant TiVo box for education “An online, off-air TV and radio archive & recording service from BUFVC” • ~ 2 million TV & radio programmes • > 60 TV & radio channels • Clips & playlists • UK only (issues re Distance Learning) • Subscription
- 14. BoB • Fantastic tool, not perfect • Key weakness = discovery/rediscovery • Additional resource for sharing best practice - more metadata & keywords - scope to describe usage of resource • Hence launched Biology on the Box
