The dMEC specialises in the use of videoconferencing to support teaching and learning in schools throughout the UK. The videoconferencing test facilities at the centre are available for schools to use and you can contact us for advice on any aspect of educational videoconferencing.

Currently over 50 Devon schools are using videoconferencing and there are details of some of the work they are involved in on this site.

DES Advisers Tim Arnold and Steve Cayley worked with the DfES on the Videoconferencing in the Classroom project from 2000 - 2004. The project publication ‘Videoconferencing in the Classroom’ was first published in May 2002 and revised and reprinted in January 2004. Copies of both editions are available on this website to download.

As well as working in Devon, DCS are currently working as videoconferencing consultants for the TDA and Becta, developing the use of educational videoconferencing in schools.

Two video case studies on the use of videoconferencing to support the teaching of English at KS3 and one case study on KS2 links with the Royal Albert Memorial Museum on the Romans are available on this site.
