Abstract
Trigger films consist of short, high‐impact vignettes which aim to stimulate learning. This paper examines ways in which learning activities can be designed around trigger films to enhance their use in situations dealing with affective learning. An example of the use of these films in a first‐year undergraduate course in introductory clinical studies illustrates this and focuses on classroom activities exploring intrapersonal and interpersonal issues. Some difficulties which tutors experience in using trigger films are discussed and related to general problems of experiential activities. Finally, guidelines for the production of trigger material are presented.Keywords
