Just a thought, but if the main difficulty is keeping track of resources, I
wonder if something like Microsoft OneNote or EverNote
http://www.evernote.com/ would be an alternative solution.
This would allow the student to keep all his/her resources in one place.
Rather than video her notes, both OneNote or EverNote would allow the
student to grab a screenshot or capture notes, images, photos, mind maps,
audio in one place - essentially anything that is in electronic format can
be captured, stored and easily located in one place. It is easy to manage
and track information too.
The basic package for EverNote is free. There's even a free app for mobile
phones, Android, iPhone etc. This would also allow the student to access all
her resources in a flexible way.

Subject: Request for video camera for note taking and revision.
Any comments of or help would be much appreciated with this one. I have
recently spoken to a student with Dyslexia wishing to make digital videos of
her notes and learning resouces as a revision/ learning strategy. This is
the first time I have been involved with such a request and even though I'm
sceptical I would approciate some input. The student uses a combination of
written notes, mind maps diagrams and other media for learning and claims
that she finds it difficult to keep track of her resources and often loses
them. Her idea is to video her various notes while giving a commentary so
that the video will essentially provide access to all notes and information
in one digital media.
I am concened from a practical basis that the student has unrealistic
expectations of what can actually be acheived with video as this is just an
idea and the student has no experience in using this technique. At the
moment I have not agreed to funding this through the DSA but in the interest
of keeping an open mind I would be interested in any comments experience
other assessors may have had.
Many thanks,
Mark Phillips
