Buckton The experience of using the SuperJANET (ATM) asynchronous transfer mode video network for teaching surgery to undergraduates is reported, and the requirements for teaching and conferencing are contrasted. The network is used to link six UK University Medical Schools to deliver an 18- session course three times per year. Each session is designed to be a multimedia presentation encouraging students to interact with each other and with the lecturer. The paper is divided into three sections; the first describing the nature of the network, the second the discussing technical and pedagogical matters concerning interaction on the network, and the third drawing attention to the need to give special attention to audiovisual matters if the best quality of video and audio is to be achieved on the network. The signals originate in the teaching space in analogue format and on reaching the CODEC are digitised and passed over the distance network using ATM technology. This requires the collaboration of both the AV personnel with their expertise in analogue video, and the network support personnel to handle the
