This article covers the creation and use of this site:

http://www.anatatorium.com/CRIPT/cranial_nerve_experiment.html

which is a phenomenally useful resources for teaching the course of the cranial nerves.  It has nicely done virtual tours of the courses of the cranial nerves that can help visualize these difficult 3-D structures.  I plan to use these in my upper-division elective course after I lecture on the course of the cranial nerves with static pictures from their and other textbooks.  Being able to ‘fly through’ and follow the nerve will help solidify the concepts.
