Lectures on your iPad; interactive whiteboards; downloadable podcasts. As our students experience more and beter uses of digital technology, so they expect their education to make use of it.

tools for collaboration, such as interactive spaces which allow groups of students to work on individual projects on different tablets, then link up via an interactive whiteboard at the click of a buton tools for lecture capture, or recorded audio visual, which enables universities to provide basic training, vidcasts and imaginative education at a lower cost than ever before.

the same information, many people will choose video – and they will enjoy acquiring the information that it presents.” Jisc Digital Media’s Video Production infokit is intended as a one- stop shop for video creators, covering all aspects of video creation for education and research while a new infokit, High Level Digitisation for Audiovisual Resources, is a guide to the trickier aspects of geting audio visual resources online. Not everyone will want to create
high-quality resources in house – but for some, like Exeter Royal Academy for Deaf Education, a fully equipped AV studio allows them to produce augmented reality media to increase independence, and help their students access learning, training and skills for communication.
