The increasing bandwidth on the Internet between universities in the UK has potential for multimedia communications in higher education, for both teaching and research purposes. This article reports on a project which developed person‐to‐person protocols for such communication and the pedagogic styles employed in a set of eight case studies. The project transferred previous experience with multimedia communications, using ISDN2, between a university and partner schools into higher education. It also transferred experience with the 128K dedicated bandwidth of ISDN2 to the distributed architecture of 10 megabyte communications employed in SuperJANET service. Additional new styles of pedagogy, consultation and collaborative development became the most prominent modes. Styles such as these should assist staff to integrate IT into teaching and learning in higher education.
