Abstract	Universities have realized the need to equip students with appropriate information and computer technology (ICT) skills to prepare them for the workplace. This paper highlights a situation in which academics are uncomfortable with the new technological innovations being used to enhance teaching and learning. The need to integrate technology into teaching practices is an unavoidable reality. Used here is the lens of experiential learning to engage in a self-reflective case study of collaboration with the Multimedia Education Group at the University of Cape Town. The factors necessary for successful collaboration are underlined and emphasis is placed on the need for academics to reflect critically on their practice. It is argued that critical engagement with ICT provides academics with the opportunity to lead by example in the quest to enhance student learning. (Author).
