248 groups at all levels of educational constituencies and affiliated agencies, such as libraries, participated in BBN's NSF testbed project. BBN offered a sophisticated synergy of networking technologies and education. BBN worked closely with several national agencies to implement a series of Back-To-School sessions for the general public. After a hiatus and company re-organization, this project has emerged as Co-nect.Net. Some of the more senior leaders have retired but this organization has such a long-standing well of expertise in technology and professional development that everyone can learn from it!
BBN also has joined forces with the Pearson Education to combine BBN's internet connectivity services and the Co-nect's curriculum and assessment programs.
Annotation
First, BBN and now its legacy, Co-Nect Net, has a long track record in telecollaboration and some of the most highly respected leaders in the field are on staff. In fact, work in several different groups and by individual principal investigators reflect the synergy between networking and education.
