Collaboratory Statistics Banner

 

There were 580 projects created in the Collaboratory between after July 1, 2003, and June 30, 2004. Many of these projects have artifacts in the resources that are attached to them. Some of these projects have been repeated in the classroom for one or more years. Others are new and have never been used. Some of them were started just to get a feeling for what it would be like to create a project in the Collaboratory.
