This project will establish a web-based, interactive electronic community to build capacity and enrich the knowledge base of the MSP projects and the Learning Community of which they are a part. Specifically, MSPnet will:
- expand MSP projects access to, and ability to share, resources, emerging research, tools, best practices, obstacles and strategies;
- strengthen geographically dispersed partnerships by enhancing and sustaining dialogue through innovative collaborative tools, events and structures;
- create a growing archive, for both researchers and practitioners, of the lessons and accomplishments of the MSP program;
- enhance the public's access to, and knowledge of, the MSP program;
- conduct research on the impact of on-line formats, functionalities and structures to enhance large scale education reform efforts.
