Global Challenge is a self-directed learning experience for middle and high school students who wish to make a big difference in the world. They form global teams and solve a pressing global problem, which creates new learning opportunties and adds an impressive achievement to their college going portfolio. We're pleased to announce new winners of the October 2010 submissions We're not going to be offering a competition in 2010 - 2011 (students who are already working can keep going; we'll judge and reward you as always!) because the time has come to find sustainable, long-term partners for our work.

However this approach does not work well for the generations raised on MTV, fast action films, video games and the Internet. In fact, it does not work well for most learners. One of the greatest problems in web-based training is how to get learners engaged enough to actually use it. As Bill Byham says in the March 2000 issue of Training & Development magazine: "What keeps me awake at night is how to get people to stick with Web-based training long enough to learn something." A related problem is that "tell-test" slows down the training process considerably.
