A Virtual Project is a web-based teaching and learning experience. Teachers construct a web page which guides students through a series of digital-based tasks. Delivering lesson activities via the internet enables teachers to weave current web sites, interactive quizzes and hints into the description of the task. Examples of high quality Virtual Projects will be demonstrated and a framework for optimal design of web based projects presented. The course is an ideas way to explore existing uses of the internet or your school's intranet..

The course runs over two days. The first day will familiarise teachers with a range of web pages created by teachers to facilitate high quality educational experiences for students. Participants will be introduced to Frontpage Express software to create their own web page with opportunity to practice each of the functions.

The second day of the Virtual Projects course will enable participants to apply their skills and knowledge of project design to create a Virtual Project for their own students. Teachers will be encouraged to bring images, text and resources to incorporate into their own design. Each web page created during the course may be posted on the web at the conclusion of the course.

As a result of participating in this course it is expected that teachers will:

• practice using basis web publishing software to create a simple web page;
• build a collection of web based resources relevant for their students;
• design and create a web based tutorial for their students.
