From science to social studies, from math to music, students are finding new ways to engage the real world. At the same time, online opportunities — such as datasets and museums, remote observatories, public art displays, wiki sites, and collaborative research environments–are expanding access to resources, thereby increasing opportunities for faculty, teachers and students to collaborate with and learn from practitioners.
This EdForum, through its lively discussion format, will shed light on this new wave of collaborations.
