All Expeditions

Dragonfly Workshops, created by Project Dragonfly, extend face-to-face seminars through a collaborative Web platform. From home or work, all students work throughout the fall on the Web with faculty and classmates to discuss assignments, develop projects, and exchange ideas. To learn more about this unique Web experience, visit dragonflyworkshops.org.

"After experiencing traditional college courses, distance learning, and site based courses, this format has been the most thorough, practical, and genuine knowledge growth opportunity."
