Teaching and learning in higher education has recently been transformed by the development and affordability of fast microcomputers and the accessibility of the World Wide Web. The potential to utilise the Web to enhance students' learning has been recognised, and to this end a pilot web‐based system has been developed as an online interactive resource for the teaching and learning of an undergraduate module on Communications within the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics. The system comprises course note material, interactive tutorial demonstrations, an interactive self‐assessment system, and a facility for asynchronous group interaction. These materials are intended to complement the traditional taught element of the module, and will support new student‐centred delivery methods being implemented within the University of Liverpool. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
