One impact of the 'information age' is that a variety of new learning resources have become available to both students and tutors. Using these resources effectively and with a sound pedagogical basis presents a whole array of issues for teaching professionals. In this paper the authors describe the development and implementation of a Web interface to existing computer-based learning materials in an attempt to enhance the student learning experience. Although the innovations occurred in two very
