Funding programme: JISC Technologies Application (JTAP) programme
The present project will be based upon a study of the use of MPEG-2 compression to prepare digital video for medical teaching and the technical considerations which will need to be taken into account to achieve classroom delivery under realistic conditions. The project builds upon work undertaken by the Medical Faculty funded by the JISC New Technology Initiative. The present project's findings and guidelines will be relevant to disciplines outside the field of medicine and will be disseminated via the World Wide Web, relevant electronic lists and through paper based publications. The project will run over a period of two years.
