Student Access:

Student access would not be a difficult challenge to overcome when implementing an online student to student collaboration project. Most schools provide access to computers and the internet. Students have several times during the day (study halls, lunch and class time) that they can use the computers in the labs and media center. If a student does not have access to a computer at home, most media centers are open after school. In addition, the public library provides internet access to patrons after school and in the evening. Students who don’t have computer access could easily collaborate online from any location, which is the basis of online collaboration. Network outages and slow downs are usually a temporary situation and would not hinder an online collaboration project.
