Abstract
This article outlines briefly some of the uses made of television in the University of Bath and goes on to discuss its use in the analysis and design stage of course planning‐‐rather than detailing direct teaching applications. Television is only one‐‐albeit an expensive one‐‐of the teaching/learning aids available in the University's Educational Services. It has always been argued by the Service that any particular aid should be used if, and only if, there is sound argument in favour of it. If it is reasonable to argue that aids should match specific teaching or learning needs of each part of a program or module then it is also reasonable to argue that the most appropriate media should be used to analyse the teaching or learning requirements underlying such a program. It could be that the use, for instance, of television in the analysis and design stage may establish that television should not be used in the final production. Television or not television is the problem discussed in this article.
