Abstract	This paper investigates the development and deployment of a system facilitating the teaching of multimedia application skills. Our contribution is a new approach to supporting remote hands-on training of highly graphical multimedia applications. One popular method of teaching multimedia skills is to use laboratory sessions where students gain skills by completing representative tasks exercising their knowledge of the tools. Usually a teacher will be co-located with the students and can therefore share physical access to each student's computer to collaboratively work with them to answer any questions raised during the lesson. Conducting lessons remotely removes physical co-location. This physical separation of the student from the teacher introduces considerable technical and usability issues, focused around the inability to share physical access to a common computer workspace. Therefore we developed a networked environment to facilitate the distributed educational process and ran a trial to assess the usability of the system.
