A new out-of-hours service that allows pupils to receive homework tips from "virtual teachers" is being piloted in Scotland.
Pupils from Alva Academy in Clackmannanshire will trial the so-called vodcasting system, with teachers of subjects including maths, music, and home economics recording videos recapping key points from lessons to help with homework.
The videos will be posted on the school website and will be accessible by pupils at home. Teachers will also record audio files of lesson tips that will be playable on pupils' MP3 players or mobile phones.
The initiative is the latest in a series of projects that have seen technology becoming an increasingly important part of the education system.
