Central thesis • There is huge pedagogic value in the use of video
• Video clips can be used: - to help scene-setting - as discussion starters, and/or - to convey factual information
• Video material can be obtained freely and legally for use in education, provided you know what you are looking for
• Colleagues may require specialist help to locate and utilise suitable material
• Web 2.0 technologies are ideal for sharing this specialist knowledge

TRILT –
2 great serviceswww.trilt.ac.uk offers:
• A weekly e-mail alert warning you of any programmes coming up in the next two weeks that match your keywords
• A searchable database of transmission history covering broadcasts since 1995, in which all programmes are given an ID code
• The latter can frequently be used to identify recordings available through the back-up service (inc all terrestrial TV since June 1998)

Xenotransplantation
Holby City: “Better The Devil You Know” (BBC1, 6th September 2006)
This recording is to be used only for educational and non-commercial purposes under the terms of the ERA Licence

Xenotransplantation• The clip shown is an excellent vehicle for introducing discussion of both the ethical objections people might have regarding this operation, and the scientific difficulties that would be involved
• The TRILT entry for this programme states: “Abra returns to Holby and clashes with Ric over the treatment of a terminally ill patient, when Abra decides to offer the patient an illegal transplant. Chrissie thinks she’s cracked it with Sam”
• How would someone else recognise the potential in this clip?

Specialist help: Bioethicsbytes• It is unrealistic to expect a general-purpose service to include sufficient annotation to satisfy all nuances of discipline-specific usage
• We have developed Bioethicsbytes as an alternative means to share recommendations regarding bioethics-related footage

Obtaining footage • BioethicsBytes recommends but does not supply off-air recordings
• BUFVC members can usually obtain material via the back-up service
- Most universities are members - Most schools are not
• Availability of on-line video?

Online video availability? • The BBC iPlayer is an exciting development, but of little use here due to short availability window
• Streamed news footage?
