The CLIC Model

In the center circle are:

• the School (T/S - teachers & students)
• the Library (School, Public, and Other)
• the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions database).

On the perimeter are:

• Curriculum Specialists who work directly with the Schools
• the IntraNet which is Internet techonologies used in local context
• the Community made up of all the local community such as local government, civic agencies, and business enterprises
• the Content which has been produced by the Community

The process works like this:

• The Library acts as broker connecting projects with players. On scenario is that community members make a query that leads to working with school. Another scenariois that school queries lead to partnering with community. The Green arrows indicate the two way brokering process.
• The partnering uses the network as the channel for communications -- the blue circle.
• Content is specific to various entities - orange and green vertical bars.
• Geographic Information Systems Applications (GIS) cut horizontally through specific content areas.
• There will be CLIC projects that will be repeated at appropriate intervals (e.g., monthly, annually, quarterly) The yellow dots indicate one exercise that has been repeated four times so far.
• Questions / queries will be included in a FAQ database that will be used by School, Library, and Community over the IntraNet as a point of quick reference.
