The dMEC specialises in the use of videoconferencing to support teaching and learning. The videoconferencing facilities at the centre are available for schools to use and equipment can also be made available for schools to use by special arrangement. Currently over 20 Devon schools are using videoconferencing and the number is growing steadily.

Devon Curriculum Services's work with Global Leap and the DfES on the Videoconferencing in the Classroom project started in July 2000. The project is now into its second phase. The publication ‘Videoconferencing in the Classroom’ was published in May 2002 and a print copy can be ordered on line. It can also be downloaded from the DCS and BECTa websites.
