Many readers will be familiar with Mathwise [1]. This project which began about ten years ago set out to automate the delivery of learning materials in undergraduate Mathematics. The aim was to provide multimedia text-based modules covering service Mathematics for Science and Engineering students. Computer-based assessment sections were added mainly through the SUMSMAN project [2]. The commercial quality-assured version was produced by NAG [3] based on the initial TLTP version. Although the uptake of Mathwise was quite widespread through the mid to late nineties this subsequently tended to fall away particularly with the advent of the Internet. Mathwise is a CD product so that accessibility can be a problem for students compared to Web-based materials.
