The University of Aberdeen is investigating the use of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 digital video in computer assisted learning (CAL) on behalf of the higher education community in the UK. This is a 2 year project conducted with support by the Joint Informations Systems Committee under project JISC/JTAP-288. During the project, an exemplar CAL multimedia application has been developed which demonstrates the use of this new technology. This has been accompanied by an in-depth study of the practical issues in network delivery of such an application from a Video Clip Server (VCS) to one or more classrooms. The CAL application is now in use as a component of an undergraduate course at the Foresterhill Medical School. (6 pages)
