Summary The rational deployment of audio‐visual resources for teaching within large institutions requires information on the use made of media by teaching staff. A questionnaire administered to 902 academics at two New Zealand universities provided data on the use of seven media—chalkboards, whiteboards, slides, overhead projectors, sound recordings, films and closed circuit television. The questionnaire revealed large differences in media use between teachers of different disciplines. These differences were generally consistent across both universities, albeit with some intriguing local variations. Relationships between staff status and media use are explored, and the usefulness of the survey as a whole is discussed.
