In response to several initiatives from national agricultural leadership to review and modify curriculum, a national curriculum for forage instruction is being developed. Through funding from the USDA Challenge Grants Program, the National Forage and Grassland Curriculum (NF & GC) is presented on the World Wide Web (WWW) to provide instructors of forage production and related courses a scope and sequence, content material, WWW links, and teaching methodology and strategies. The NF & GC is unique in two ways: (i) it utilizes a number of nationally know topic matter experts working collaboratively with educational designers and technology specialists to present current scientific material in an educationally sound form, and (ii) it utilizes the best traits of WWW format while presenting more than just a WWW class. Although interested learners can take the course on the WWW, it is designed to help science instructors become more proficient as teachers by providing educational methodologies and strategies, an abundance of materials and resources, and connections to national experts. The objective of supplying content and teacher training is ambitious. Obstacles were expected but have been overshadowed by benefits. The purpose of this article is to share our experiencesin the design and implementation of a collaborative WWW development project.
