Characteristics of
Effective Student Web Projects

Over the past several years the Global Schoolhouse has developed and tested the following criteria for "effective" student Web projects.

To maximize the potential for student learning, these criteria emphasize content, consider the process, and recognize the unique communication capabilities of the Internet. They also seek to balance these with the technical and esthetic aspects of the Web site itself.
