  • The hope is that a project like Mr. Boyle's can bring some of the same benefits to a larger number of students.
  • Mr. Boyle's project is a direct descendant of a project that a Davidson College biology professor, A. Malcolm Campbell, has been running for a decade. In Mr. Campbell's project, called the Genome Consortium for Active Teaching,

  • "There's a benefit of working in a community," Mr. Campbell says. In many cases, "you're the only one doing this on your campus, and it's always so much easier to have a network of people so that when you get in a jam you can send out an e-mail."

    "As they looked out over dramatic landscapes of the Apennine Mountains in Italy this past fall, 13 students from four ACM colleges were engaged in a new off-campus study program that takes a hands-on, project-based approach to studying earth science and the interactions between people and the environment. Program field trip An overlook of the area the students mapped as part of their first project. The program - Earth & Environment in Italy - is sponsored by Luther College and shared through the ACM consortium, making it available to students at all 14 member colleges."

    "Collaborative Facilities is a project designed to collect, organize, and disseminate information about model "collaborative facilities" on college and university campuses. The project is sponsored by the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) and hosted by Dartmouth College in an effort to assist institutions in planning, implementing, and evaluating these facilities. This web site allows information professionals, administrators, faculty, and other interested visitors to "tour" collaborative facilities online and to analyze documents related to their planning, design, administration, staffing, services, and funding. The site also provides contact information for each participating institution in order to encourage the development of an interactive community devoted to collaborative facilities."

    For the past four years, students at the College of Staten Island have been able to attend classes in Turkey, China, Greece, Italy, and South Africa without having to leave the comforts of the College's beautiful 204-acre campus. Thanks to the Virtual Classroom Project, where students at CSI link to higher education institutions in other countries, and students at those colleges also connect with them, everyone involved gains insights to other parts of the world that they previously only might have imagined.

  • The Thayer School, for example, has about 20 dual-degree programs with other liberal-arts institutions in the United States but has no such programs at the graduate level or internationally.
  • Collaborative undergraduate programs were also discussed, including a proposal to have at least two students from each of the participating national alliances work together on design projects that could last a semester or even a year.

  • Now with accessible cameras in commonly used device such as iPads, phones, tablets, and laptops, the visual is immediate but not necessarily extensive. Therefore, the sense of group requires additional technology to make it inclusive, which the newer platforms are offering.
  • The instructional benefits have also evolved from a technology that simply connected students and teachers in different locations with a visual as well as an audio connection, to one that now increases interaction, collaboration, project work, and group activities
