Learning Community 2000 addresses the need to recreate civics education to promote informed and responsible participation in a democracy informed and responsible participation in a democracy changed by emerging information technologies. It will develop a model of schooling that uses newly defined roles for teachers, parents, and community elements to empower students in an authentic, active learning process. The new student role includes learners of all ages who employ communication technology, learn new methods of collaboration, and practice the skills needed to obtain, evaluate, and utilize information. The result will be an exportable model of an on-line learning community. The model is expected to be adapted for use in all subject areas. Fifteen consortium partners will contribute to this effort initiated by Pekin Public School District #108 in Illinois.
