Global Interactive Projects

A global interactive project is defined as a Web-based project that involves learners from around the globe. The project's goal is to allow all types of learners to interactively participate while increasing the value, database, knowledge-base, understanding for the benefit of all learners.

A global project grows exponentially as each participant contributes to the project. Students are able to learn more because of the information is not limited to their community or their classroom expertise.

A global interactive project must be designed to support input from around the globe over a period of time. Design an invitation page to explain your project and to notify digital travelers how they can participate in your project (Example). Your planning process should recognize that resources, staff, time, and commitment to the project are necessary to make it a useful learning experience.
