the aim of the paper is to  “Identify the factors and issues which influence the use of video in a Higher Education establishment” This paper reports on a survey in the  use of video as a teaching aid within one British University, shows data gathered during 1995 from fourteen Schools within its four Faculties. It spots on factors and issues that influence the use of video in teaching, how video is used to maintain teaching strategies; and its apparent usefulness as a teaching resource. It explains factors that encourage the use of video in teaching and the factors discouraging the use of video in teaching. Explains the extent to which video is used across the University; the aspects that support or discourage its use; and the awareness and expectations that teaching staff have of video as a teaching tool. Suggests some advices in how the use of video and how should be supported and enhanced in the University. The majority of teaching staff use video mainly as a supplement to lecture. the authors find that video is used by teaching staff in a variety of ways in every School in the University. The paper concludes that “Video use in teaching needs to be supported at policy level by addressing the promotion of existing services”. Teachers and high education staff are the main core of this paper. The research does not represent the actual situation in all High Education institutions. Does not include comparison between the “old” and “new” universities with regard the use of video in teaching.
