As our students enter the anxiety period of teaming up with partners at
other campuses to do the project, it's now time for we instructors to act
as facilitators and be in frequent contact with one another as to
progress.

All of my students -- either through Forum postings or personal e-mail
messages -- are reaching out, as I assume your students are.  I remind our
European colleagues that the U.S. semester ends the first week in May so
our students are anxious to complete the partnership arrangements within
the next week so they can divide up the work and get it done.  Within the
next 24 hours I will post what I know so far of who in my class has teamed
up with whom, and who is still looking for partners.  If you would do the
same thing, I think we could expedite the matchups.  Again, time is of the
essence in our doing so.
