Box of Broadcasts, or BoB for short, is an online, on Demand TV and radio service for education. In part one<\/a> <\/strong>of this blog we looked at what BoB is and how to use it to search for, request and watch online content.

So how do I create my own playlist?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bob lets you create your own playlist of programmes which you can either keep for yourself or share publicly. Here’s how to create your own..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Give your playlist a suitable name and add a description if you wish, then tick the box at the bottom if you wish to make your playlist publicly available and searchable by others, then click on the “Create playlist” button, which remains greyed out until you name your list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
