Project Portfolio : Recent Projects by Release Date

Home > Project Portfolio

The Project Portfolio demonstrates the range of projects that CCNMTL has developed since its inception in early 1999. While each of these projects pursues its own objectives, the unifying feature across these efforts is the innovative use of learning technologies and the high level of interaction among faculty and technologists as they share ideas and collaboratively design curricular resources and tools. Projects emphasize collaboration, interaction, and student activity.
