Film details and download page
On 1 September 2006, the Education Media OnLine (EMOL) service became Film & Sound Online.
Film & Sound Online not only has a new, updated user interface but also has important new functionality. The key improvement is that users of Film & Sound Online are now able to browse by subject.
Other new features include a Lucky Dip, which offers users a random selection of the service content; a Showcase, which gives a brief, visual demonstration of the range of content available in the service; and a view or create learning materials page, which enables users both to view case studies and reviews and to offer to create learning materials.
In the coming academic year EDINA will also explore other ways of improving Film & Sound Online, such as a forum where Film & Sound Online users can exchange ideas and information about their experience of the service and its content.
There is no need for existing EMOL subscribers to take any action now, as Film & Sound Online is available under the current EMOL licensing terms, remaining free of charge to licensed institutions until 31 July 2007. Subscription details for non-subscribing institutions are available.
