Description: Community-based development of educational software. Contains code for the projects and a mission statement.
The Internet has been built out with special attention and success to schools across the country and around the world. Yet mainstream educational software has progressed little beyond either online workbooks with flat multiple choice drills or an amalgam of chat rooms, static Web pages, and threaded bulletin board messaging made available to students under the umbrella of a given class or school. Classrooms and dormitories are linked to the Net, and those seeking educational applications say: “Now what?” We believe that, with the right structure, the linking of classrooms and students to the global Net can become indispensable to a variety of teaching environments — and we have tested this belief through a series of pilot projects implemented at Harvard Law School and elsewhere. These projects seek to answer the surprisingly difficult questions of what to do with a classroom once it is wired and how to help teachers, unobtrusively but effectively, inspire and lead their students through the use of networked technologies, fostering online intellectual communities with innovative tools that fundamentally differ from existing educational systems.
