Abstract

The INSURRECT project began in 1993 as a collaboration between six UK universities in distance teaching of undergraduate surgery. The first year was spent in testing the network and preparing the course material. This was followed by a two-year pilot teaching course. During this phase, 108 teaching sessions were conducted, involving more than 1300 students in all. It was found that successful teaching depended on increasing the amount of audience interaction as much as possible and transmitting high-quality video pictures. Although the time taken to deliver material by interactive video was greater than for convention al lectures, both students and teachers responded favourably to the project.
