space.discussion.AV+resources

I am looking at what to do with the AV resources we have sitting around.

My thinking is driven by these observations: 1. We have a lot of money invested in these resources 2. They are under-utilised 3. The technology is now pretty old - in many cases we are talking about cassette tapes and videos.

I am wondering

a) what the blocks are to them being used - is it just too hard to find them? To get all the technology together to make it work? The programmes are too tight to allow for multimedia inclusion? b) should we make it all available to the students to use? c) would making them available in an electronic format mean they were used more by teachers? d) should I just weed them and toss them?
