These videos are in the public domain for one reason or another, so they can be shared publicly here. I have other videos that are under copyright, which the copyright holder has given me permission to share (but only with my students, not publicly). They are available towards the bottom of this page to enrolled tutees.

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!

The quality of the recordings is variable because the VHS Cassettes were in various different states of decay when I digitised them, but I feel they all contain something of interest to someone with a passion for physics education!
