OWCp selected by Microsfot.com as a model for interactive and

collaborative writing

I am glad to report to you that our project (OWCp) was selected by

Microsfot.com (Educational Center) as an educational model that

incorporates Online forums for interactive and collaborative learning and as

a model for online community-building. I am glad to see OWCp listed there

to be an example for educators who wish to use online forums as a tool for

teaching and learning English as a second or a foreign language.
