Enhanced teaching“ It has more than enhanced this service as it offers the

teachers the flexibility and ownership over what clips and programmes they want to include in their teaching sessions. They no longer have to cross campus to try their luck in the LRC to see if their favourite DVD is in stock and using Bob to put clips into their presentations has become a natural part of their teaching preparation.”
