The current copyright holder of the old videos below has kindly given me permission to share them to enrolled tutees. Some of them date back to the 1980s! It is fascinating to see how educational videos have evolved over the years.
The rest of the collection of videos on this page are only available to enrolled tutees because the copyright holder has only given me permission to share them privately with my own students. The collection includes digitised copies of 18 VHS Cassettes and 15 DVDs, dating from as far back as the mid 1980s. People interested in how physics education has changed over the years will enjoy this collection!
