Abstract
Factors such as increasing class sizes, expanding curriculum, added time pressure on students and lecturing staff, contention for library resources and study space as well as the cost of educational administration have prompted the application of advanced technology to both enhance the pedagogical aspects of teaching and relieve administration and management resources. However, no single technology is appropriate to support both the pedagogical requirements and administrative imperatives required for course delivery in a virtual educational environment. This paper identifies student and course delivery management requirements and describes the seamless integration of appropriate multimedia and groupware technologies to support course delivery within a virtual student desktop. The paper presents the resulting experiences and lessons learned in delivering educational services using virtual environments based on the execution of three trials involving over 300 students in Trinity College Dublin.
