Video & Images
Using video excepts and images can help
students understand difficult concepts, create discussion or create
interest.
Always ensure that you abide by all copyright guidelines and acknowledge your
sources.
The JISC Digital
Media website has good advice relating to still and moving
images and sounds.
Ready made videos
Websites such as YouTube
and VideoJug have lots of
videos available that you can use in your lessons, link to from Blackboard, or include in a PowerPoint presentation. Listed
below are some popular video repositories:
TV programmes
The College has a licence to record programmes
for educational purposes. If you see a good documentary let
the e-Media Resources team know and
they can record the episode for you. Teachers’ TV also contains
a lot of material which may enhance your teaching.
Video Library
The video library allows you to browse the
College’s videos by subject. It also allows you to play the
videos from any staff computer. No need to book a DVD
player—just click and go. The link to this resource can be

Images

help illustrate your lessons. The JISC
Advisory Service offers good advice for both finding and
creating images via their Digital
Media website.

check the licensing requirements of each individual image. Remember
that the majority of images require referencing.
