"The main aim of our proposal was to trial digital technology to see whether it would be appropriate to use in the observation process; it was not specifically to evaluate the learners’ performance on the video (an analysis of this would be done as a secondary activity). We would be asking learners to see what the technology was like to carry about, set up and use in their teaching environment. We therefore needed to look at the technology available, in order to select something that would be most appropriate for our needs."
