Project History

Polaris acquired Soarweb as a result of The Alliance & Alliance+, both U.S. Department of Education Challenge grants. Surweb the sister-site, was developed for another challenge grant by The Southeast Education Service Center of Utah. RWLO is the result of improvements (e-Desk) made to Surweb, and LearningPlace is the result of e-Desk 2.0 improvements. Through participation in a PT3 Grant Polaris has able to institute these two newer digital tools. RWLO has been provided free access over the web, LearningPlace is provided only through Institute Workshops Institute workshops.
