Why HTML? Adding video clips to PowerPoint can
create huge file sizes Accessible to the students via the
college intranet from home at anytime
How we use the materials Learners – Valuable reference/learning
material available to them via the college intranet, which is also accessible from home via a password
Staff – The project has inspired departments to follow suit. Staff are becoming more creative in their ideas on how to improve the teaching & learning experience using IT as a tool.
College – Winstanley College will benefit greatly as a learning organisation as students are able to access quality materials.

storyboards. Be prepared that mistakes can and do happen. You
may need to film a clip more than once! Time management is vital Ensure that you have the correct
equipment/software to digitally capture video clips Staff need to be available to create the video – 1 to
