Website created by Chris Willmott at the University of Leicester as a resource for lecturers and students of bioscience in Higher Education. The main aim of biologyonthebox is to share suggestions for the use of television in teaching Biology. The only constraint is that the programmes suggested must be available in Box of Broadcasts (Bob). The site is clearly laid out and easy to navigate. A helpful list of categories, from Agriculture and Bioethics to Virology and Zoology helps users navigate the resource. Each entry features a url to the programme on BoB along with information about the programme and suggestions on how to use it in teaching.

Website created by history students and researchers at the University of Leicester with the aim of showing how clips from Box of Broadcasts (BoB) can be used in the teaching of history. Each entry focuses on an individual programme and includes a link to BoB. Many of the entries consider the appropriateness of the programme in the context of teaching, and whether it could be used best in primary, secondary or further and higher education.

This Earth Sciences resource was developed by the Open University to broaden access to rock collections previously only available in universities, museums or specialist institutions. The aim is to engage with students at school or in higher education and to help develop identification and classification skills without the need for expensive microscopes or the facilities to prepare thin slices of rock. Users can zoom, pan and rotate specimens in light conditions that mirror those previously only possible using specialist petrological microscopes. The collections include meteorites as well as a news section and a list of teaching resources.

An initiative of the Deutsche Kinemathek Museum für Film und Fernsehen this site aims to encourage a collaborative approach to listing and identifying relevant information and surviving documents concerning lost and unidentified films, ranging from well-known examples like F.W. Murnau’s Four Devils, to obscurities such as 1968 Franco-Spanish werewolf film Las noches del hombre lobo, where there is some doubt as to whether the film ever existed at all. Users of the site are invited to register in order to be able to take part, either by uploading stills, or video clips, of films they cannot identify or leaving comments in order to help name films already posted on the site. The links page offers a range of helpful pointers to printed sources, other identification initiatives, exhibitions and festivals and hoaxes and jokes.

Left Field Cinema is curated by Mike Dawson. The website hosts reviews, articles, podcasts and a forum for examining mainstream cinema from alternative perspectives, and unearthing more obscure films from world cinema and the independent scene. Left Field Cinema is not film criticism, it’s film recommendation and analysis. Contributions are all grouped under themes such as Misunderstood Modern Cinema, Comparative Examination, Documentary Milestone, or Asian Avant-garde.
