Building Virtual Communities

Instructors from around the world are invited to use this page to form partnerships for the classroom. Use this site to create virtual communities of students in colleges anywhere. Just post a description of your course and search for others who share your goals.

About Me

Name: Virtual Community Builders

In Spring 2005, three instructors, two in Egypt and one in California, created a forum for student correspondence using www.nicenet.org. The goal was to create a public space for dialog where students would be exposed to new ideas and perceptions, thereby gaining insight while evaluating and constructing perspectives of the Middle East, America, and history. The possibilities for future partnerships worldwide led to the creation of this site!
