In this paper, the development and evaluation of a computer based multimedia learning environment capable of supporting group working is reported. The application developed in this study was used in a Further Education (FE) college by tutors and students following a catering course. Learners engaged in the application, performing a range of tasks, based on group working and role playing both on and off-computer. Although no significant difference was found between performance in individual and group work it was found that learners and teachers valued the approach used and performed at least as well on the course than in previous years.
