Streaming and Video platforms 

BoB (Box of Broadcasts) is Learning on Screen’s archive of on demand TV and radio programmes. You can search for keywords such as diabetes or homelessness and find programmes about these topics or look up documentaries that you might have seen or heard on television or radio.  You can watch or record programmes, as well as take clips for use in your presentations. If you are taking a contemporary foreign languages module, you may wish to watch programmes on international television stations such as France24, Tagesschau or 2DF.  

Kanopy is a multidisciplinary video streaming service with access to a large, curated catalogue of educational documentaries and classic films from leading producers which you can watch anytime, anywhere and on any device including via media streaming apps. Not all of the content is available at CCCU.  

Teachers TV provides access to all 3,530 globally-acclaimed instructional videos produced in 2008 by the United Kingdom’s Department of Education to train and develop teachers’ skills through demonstrations and commentary by teachers, administrators, and other educational experts. 

There are also good quality recordings of live theatre available via Digital Theatre Plus and Drama Online and archival film at the British Universities Film and Video Council
