Al-Musharaka

The Al-Musharaka initiative began in November 2001 under the leadership of Clara Yu, then director of the institute, and its first major project was NITLE's online resource on Arab Culture and Civilization.

It has also organized a large number of professional development activities, first at the Center for Educational Technology in Middlebury, Vermont (now the Northeastern Center of NITLE).

The Oldenborg Center at Pomona College will host the 2007 seminar, which will deal with Teaching about Islam.

The Al-Musharaka logo was designed by Khaled Al Saa’i, one of the most prominent contemporary calligraphers in the Arab world.

Recent articles on Al-Musharaka appeared in the Educause Quarterly and the Middle East Studies Bulletin.
