Well, this was a surprise. Last week I emailed Edina to inquire whether it was possible to download films from their Film and Sound Online service, change their format and upload the result to devices such as the iPod Touch to loan out to students. I thought I was being quite cheeky, but was totally surprised at the response. See the message below. I think the lesson to be learnt here is to not presume, but always ask!

Thank you for your message.
Technical advice regarding encoding can be found on the Film & Sound Online web pages at – http://www.filmandsound.ac.uk/support/technical/ so it would appear that what you are hoping to do is permitted. It is not stated in the terms of use that you may not change the format. See terms of use – http://www.filmandsound.ac.uk/description/termsofuse.html
I hope this helps, however please do let me know if you need anything further.
Best wishes

TALO Video Resources Presentation
On the 9th February I’ve been asked to present at the Teaching Observation team training day at Macclesfield College. The presentation above focuses on videos and the Q Projects and highlights some that may be useful to teaching observers. The link to Teachers TV is particularly relevant because it focusses on a Public Services tutor at Runshaw College in Leyland.
