As demonstrated in a collaborative virtual geography project, the Internet is a powerful research tool that assists students in accessing information previously unobtainable and from people formerly unapproachable. This article describes a collaborative project in which two classes from geographically distant locations were placed on virtual teams and given a joint assignment that required collaboration, communication, and production of a final project using e-mail, listservs, and a course Web-site. Anecdotal evidence is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the Internet in providing students with alternative information sources.
