A number of teachers have asked how we manage the growing amount of video based teaching resources that are being produced. From screencasts  to Moving Image Arts coursework, from video podcasts to clips edited from our EyeTV system we end up juggling a large amount of video files which creates both storage and bandwidth issues for schools.

EyeTV in Education

I have been asked a number of times about our deployment of EyeTV and the role it plays in teaching and learning. We have been using Elgato’s EyeTV (review) for recording our film and television programmes for about three years now and this service is further offered to around ninety teachers.

The use of TV in teaching isn’t anything new and many departments have amassed dozens of VHS tapes over the years.
