About The Concord Consortium
 The
Concord Consortium is a tax-exempt non-profit educational research
and development organization. The appearance of new, emerging technologies
has the potential to ignite explosive strides in learning capacity
and curriculum development. Harnessing these technological resources
can result in a powerful extension of educational resources to all
people, regardless of their circumstances. The Concord Consortium
is committed to leading this drive forward by developing and using
the best in educational technology.
Our collaborative working environment brings creative educators
from varied academic disciplines together with an abundance of technological
expertise and physical resources. Our outstanding staff and board
members have strong educational experience and a dedication to realizing
the full power of information technologies. While we have experienced
vigorous growth since our inception in 1994, we strive to maintain
a cooperative working environment that encourages cross-fertilization
of ideas. In addition to strong staffing resources, our facility
maintains a T1 line, networked computers, a suite of powerful servers,
an abundance of software development tools, and a digital video
editing suite.
This combination of expertise and resources has resulted in the
development and dissemination of dynamic and successful educational
tools nationwide. We encourage you to learn more about The Concord
Consortium, and join us in building our vision of a more equitable
world:
We dream of students learning core skills and concepts by using
sophisticated data collection, analysis, modeling, and visualization
tools. We dream of expanded course curricula that include collaborative
work with experts around the world. We dream of students and adults
working together locally and worldwide to solve problems.
We dream of an educational system that responds to each person's
learning needs. The appropriate use of technology can bring us a
step closer to realizing this dream.
