Hi
I am a great advocate of using a 'Flip' handheld camcorder in class and all the tutors have one. However in the guidance given by Edexcel it specifically talks about a camera bing firmly mounted on a tripod (Instruction 9.18) although in (9.27)there is a note which says a handheld device may be appropriate in some cases although there must be facilities to record sound at an appropriate level.
The other problem is that the handheld ones we have only record for 1 hour which is not enough in an exam situation when recording a large number of learners in one session.
