Many assignments involve online research and access to Internet information sources.
There are two team projects that are required assignments in the program. One project is the conceptualization of an Internet start-up company and the creation of a short business plan. The other team project, which is intended to be the culmination of skills and knowledge acquired in the program, allows participants to take part, from beginning to end, in the Digital Practicum for six weeks during the summer. Teams consist of a number of participants, usually four to five members. Project teams have access to their mentor to assist in the development of their projects.
