The mission of enabling the truly global classroom requires international partnership. Building on the existing Singapore– MIT Alliance (SMA), the Singapore project was initiated to identify, test, and evaluate alternative pedagogies and the technology required to support them. The Singapore project helped prioritize promising experiments and pilot tests that could be conducted as part of SMA and further its existing methodologies, with a major focus on the design of rich asynchronous content and interaction for distance education courses.
