Sight and sound—any use for video found? Part 2: A potential still untapped

Reasons for the rejection of video technology in education have been identified and discussed in the first part of this paper (see volume 6, number 4). A reappraisal of the educational merits of this medium seems long overdue, if only to prevent a perpetuation of the hostility that some teachers feel towards its use. There are many and varied applications of video technology in nurse education; many nurse teachers may not be aware of the full potential of this medium in nurse education; its application is the subject of part two of this paper.
