In this paper we describe the many evaluations that have been required to ensure that the learning appliance, IMMEDIATE, provides, in an accessible manner, the required functionality for supporting distance teaching. An iterate and revise approach was followed as IMMEDIATE grew from a proof of concept prototype to a full working system. A primary goal has been for users to find the interface easy to use, supporting their educational endeavors. There have been many challenges over the years: technical, educational, practical and cultural. These issues are discussed here.
