The Interactive University Project (IU)
The Interactive University Project (IU) was created through the collaboration of UC Berkeley academic departments, research units, and museums, and Bay Area K-12 schools and community organizations to explore how University/K-12 partnerships can best use the Internet to support schools and families. IU went through many phases starting from providing support of a dozen Internet Learning Community Projects to create a large scale Internet mediated learning ecosystem to reach the goal of making UC Berkeley's resources available on the Internet for K-12 teachers and students.

IU supports K-12 teachers to help students improve by providing accessible educational materials online. It also provides an innovative approach to improve teaching and learning by enabling these materials to a large scale of K-12 teachers and learners. IU received awards including the 2001 Educause Award for Exemplary Practices in Information Technology Solutions, and the 2001 University/Community Partners Recognition award.
