The Television and Radio Index for Learning and Teaching (TRILT) is a powerful resource for finding programmes transmitted in the UK. Such broadcast media can be used for both teaching and research.
The session, delivered at the HEA-sponsored "Making The Most of Broadcast Media in Your Teaching" introduces the resource prior to delegates setting up their own alerts.

30. Limitations of TRILT
• 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 currently 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?
31. Specialist help: Bioethicsbytes
• It is unrealistic to expect a general-purpose service
to include sufficient annotation to satisfy all nuances
of discipline-specific usage
• It is hoped that the capacity for BoB to read subtitles
will lead to more complete meta-data on TRILT
• Bioethicsbytes developed as an
additional means to share
recommendations regarding
bioethics-related footage
