A biocommunication centre in embryo

Biocommunication and educational technology centres are established features of North American and British campuses. As yet New Zealand Universities have felt little of the impact of educational technology and such centres have been set up here only comparatively recently. This paper describes the Audio Visual Learning Centre of the University of Otago-its aims, its resources, and the strategies which have been selected for translating these aims into realities. Hopefully, this Centre will succeed in building on the achievements of others while avoiding some of the more obvious pitfalls.
