The
APEC
Cyber Academy (ACA) is an international networked learning
environment designed specifically for K-12 students. The primary
goal of ACA is to provide learner-centric, collaborative,
ICT, and international learning experiences to K-12 students
and teachers around the world.
It's
a great opportunity for students to collaborate around the
world. Roughly 1,500 students are currently signed up, but
more teams from North America and Europe are needed.
Launched in 2002, ACA is currently hosted by the APEC Digital
Content Production Center (APEC CPC) under auspices of APEC/EDNET
and the Ministry of Education of Chinese Taipei (Taiwan).
With its outstanding networked learning environment and high
quality digital content, ACA has already attracted many international
users. As of December 2005, ACA has over ten thousands registered
learners from various APEC member economies.
ACA
has hosted an annual international online contest since 2002.
The nine-week event for 2006 will start on the 2nd of October
and conclude on the 3rd of December. The contest is composed
of three programs: the APEC Networked Collaborative Learning
Program, the APEC Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) Cyber Camp, and the APEC Journalistic Kids. The former
two programs are associated with team projects that only accept
group entry. APEC Journalist Kids pertains to personal efforts
and only accepts individual entries. The APEC Cyber Academy
website provides more details about the program and how to
participate.
