Documentaries, historical dramas, newsreel archives, and even popular<br />

movies, TV shows, and “edutainment” programs can be adapted and repurposed<br />

for use in the classroom. The particular advantage of <strong>DVD</strong> for this<br />

application is random access. Teachers can quickly jump to any desired<br />

video segment and can skip over sections during playback. If a computer is<br />

used to play the disc, it can be programmed to show particular sections in a<br />

specific order.<br />

Eventually, as <strong>DVD</strong> becomes a mainstream vehicle for delivering video,<br />

a large base of educational content will build up. It will be able to take<br />

advantage of features of <strong>DVD</strong>-Video such as random access to hundreds of<br />

video segments, subpicture overlays to enhance video presentation, onscreen<br />

quizzes, multiple-scenario presentations, adaptation to learner<br />

needs, multiple languages, tailored commentary tracks, and much more.
