Student testimonial

Brett Simmonds

“iLectures is great because if I miss a lecture or something I can go back to it, get all the information I need” and “Study for exam time, its great for that because you have all the resources in front of you. If you don't understand something in a lecture, you can go back to it when you get home at your own time, at your own pace.”
