Connected learning projects

Connected learning projects allow students to engage with real-life situations, which involve communication, collaboration, self-directed learning, problem solving, researching and publishing findings.

Each project sets up a purpose or goal and requires students to work with others using the internet. They might seek information, relay their findings, or work directly with people in another place.

Connected learning projects usually run for a fixed period of time, anywhere from two weeks to one or two terms, or even longer.

Support materials for connected learning projects are provided in the Department of Education and Training publication connect.edu: Internet in teaching and learning.
