Considering the important role of teachers in educating the nation’s pupils, quality teacher education should be given priority. A benchmark of quality in teacher education is the ability to stay relevant with the rapid changes in our knowledge-based global society and at the same time is able to give equal relevance to local needs and aspirations of the nation. This requires a process which embraces change and adaptations. A pilot project was undertaken by the School of Educational Studies, USM which gave student-teachers the opportunity to experience authentic technology–supported constructivist learning environments in their teacher education programme. The aim of the project was to design a resource pool of reusable pedagogically sound multimedia learning objects based on the Malaysian Year 6 English Curriculum. This project was a collaborative effort between a multidisciplinary team consisting of teacher educators, web developers, in-service teachers and student-teachers. This effort culminated in an online multimedia repository, the ‘e-Lesson Creator’ which is described in this paper. With this project, ICT had provided a powerful tool to support the shift from teacher-centered to studentcentered learning in teacher education, eliciting relevant changes to the traditional teacher educator- student teacher roles.
