"At the moment we have been given these video modules to watch. There’s a man giving lectures and they can only be accessed in the University. so I have stuck them on my stick [pen drive] and then taken them home to watch them on my laptop. I use like 'in the ear' headphones. But, I did think they were really good, actually, and I thought they’d probably be better off just videoing our lectures and letting us watch them in the comfort of our home in bed! (laughing).
I don't mind not being able to hear - not being able to see really quite bugs me - in fact if I cannot see people's faces then I can't lipread - and then - so if I haven't got my glasses I can't hear people."
"It would help if lecturers could remember to face the audience rather than talk to the board!"

"They [the videos] are hard work as there are obviously no subtitles on them and I rely on subtitles to watch the TV."
