Computers & Education, v30 n1-2 p61-65 Jan-Feb 1998
The Internet-based CyberOlympics project involved 17 primary schools from five different countries competing against each other in an international sporting event (concurrent with the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games). Activities that benefited from Internet access, difficulties involved in running such projects, and suggestions as to how schools can best exploit this resource are discussed. (Author/AEF)
