REM was the project that got me started in web environments for education, along with Martin Owen (now at NESTA Futurelab) and Oleg Liber (now at CETIS).

REM takes a unique approach to tele-learning by creating a rich multimedia environment to support learning through collaboration, interaction and conversation. Implicit in REM’s view of education and training is a belief in constructivist principles of learning for students, teachers and professionals.

The REM project enables learners to collaborate closely by supporting the exchange of a wide variety of experiences and resources with advanced telematics.
