In Higher Education in the UK, there have been marked developments of network technologies and increased demand for assessed quality in teaching and learning. At the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, University of Brighton, an Intranet learning resource has been implemented to meet the quality of service requirements and exploit these technologies. This paper reports on the undergraduate utilisation and evaluation of this resource over a one‐year induction period. Staff‐ and student‐based hurdles are identified; these include confidentiality, peer‐scrutiny, indolence and IT competence issues. Solutions to these problems, many of which are training‐based, are proposed.
