project_aWWWare [formerly "Project IN:site"] projects
help learners analyze, interpret and evaluate information, so
that they can draw their own conclusions regarding
controversial issues. They use an accompanying "Scale of
Assurance" to find out just how certain they should be of the
opinions and beliefs they form in the process.
project_aWWWare is designed to target analysis,
synthesis and evaluation skills.
The project is based upon an editable Web page template,
and an interactive "Scale of Assurance." A sample lesson and
corresponding project are provided as a starting point for
project_aWWWare users.
Instructors should consult the Instructors Guide and
students should read the Student Guidelines before using
project_aWWWare. These documents require Adobe
Acrobat Reader. A printable, Acrobat-based Scale of
Assurance is available for users who prefer not to use the
interactive version.
Educators seeking ideas for project_aWWWare projects may
