and read the part of the presentation being discussed at the same time. Secondly, it can encourage
the creator of the teaching material to ignore issues of display resolution as they know that the slides
will be reproduced in full, which inherently leads to poor presentation material.

In an effort to address these issues this paper reviews a pilot scheme that uses high-quality digital
video resources to support student learning for lectures. The specialist studio facilities at the
University of Sussex enable a significant improvement on standard video capture and the creation of
bespoke teaching material aimed at digital capture enhances the student learning experience,
particularly when compared to standard capture methods. However, this scheme does have additional
resource implications, which must be considered in the larger context when implementing a University
wide system. It is the intention of this research to show that this type of capture creates significantly
