Journey Through Journalism

This project aimed to train Asian and European students (12 – 18 years of age) to develop their journalistic writing skills while striving to be well-informed of the significant news, issues, events and other information in their country and other countries This involved writing editorials for discussion of issues, news and feature for events. The project co-ordinators worked together to come up with a user-friendly, educational, informative, collaborative Internet space available to all of the partners (i.e., the Moodle Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)). This was a secure password-protected space that allowed student-participants to upload their work, to store and share, and to facilitate communication within the project. Features included journalistic writing tutorial boards, discussion boards, display boards, and calendars designed to facilitate collaborative work.
