The School of Dentistry at Birmingham is at the forefront of the new Internet technologies and has developed a series of Podcasts which are available for dental students to download via their iPod/mp3 player.

The School's Podcasting team of Giles Perryer, Damien Walmsley, Catherine Lambe and David Attrill.

The dental school is listed on iTunes and subscribers automatically receive new Podcasts when they become available. The School has also developed a series of portals for students to create, interact with and access web based information, without requiring any programming knowledge via its elearning environment (ecourse).

A Wiki was developed along the same principles as www.Wikipedia.com. Topics are placed on the site by either staff or students and the pages are further populated and edited by contributions from the whole student body. Blogs (web diaries) are also available for use.
