>Hi,
>
>My name is Tony Stockman, I'm a lecturer in Computer Science at the
>University of London. I have two queries about the use of IT for teaching:
>
> We routinely put audio of our lectures on our Intranet, but are
>increasingly looking at using videos instead. I wondered if anyone on the
>list has had experience of using packages such as Cantasia for recording
>their teaching and had any thoughts on its accessibility?
>
>Secondly, I find I could really use an accessible package for developing
>diagrams in front of a class, or even for prepping diagrams for a class. Of
>course a good solution for this would allow you to define your own symbols,
>but even something that allowed you to place and link predefined symbols and
>label them would be very useful. Has anyone come across anything like this?
>If not, I am lucky enough to have the possibility of getting my students to
>develop such a package, so it would be interesting to know whether others
>might find such a package useful?
>
>All best wishes,
>
