In recent years there has been an upsurge in the number of academic departments which possess their own video equipment. The Department of Chemistry at Queen Elizabeth College is one such example: it has its own VCR and camera. Details are given of the use to which this equipment is put, including the different types of programmes which are generated within the department and the production techniques employed therein. The educational benefits, advantages and disadvantages of video as a teaching and learning aid for both staff and students, are discussed.Observations and experience indicate that frequently there is an underlying dissatisfaction with programmes produced by central ETV units and that this stems from the poor relationship which often exists between the academic and the producer. A re-examination of this relationship is included, along with some suggestions as to how it might be improved. |
