Abstract: The University of Exeter, in England, with support from the Higher Education Funding Councils, led a consortium of four universities in a project which developed a range of multimedia resources for student teachers in the UK. The resources were designed to enhance and improve courses and to extend teaching and learning styles. Dissemination of these resources within UK higher education is now underway through the Telematics Centre at the University of Exeter. Colleagues from within Europe, North America and Australasia have shown an interest in these materials. This paper describes the resources and raises the issue of their relevance to communities outside the UK.
