[senit] Web cam for BSL Users

From: "Ruth McMorran" <home.mcmorran at virgin.net>

We use a very cheap webcam in the classroom to record our students. It came 
with some basic software which is very easy to use. Light can be an issue 
but you soon get used to placing the camera to avoid problems. Our problem 
is that our software only records for about 30 secs at a time so beware!
