This may seem a little off topic, but I was struck by what a fantastic class project something like this represents. It's interesting (at least, to a certain set of people), it's really hard, and yet, there are examples online, and no matter how badly you do it you will always have something to write about. The project models the best aspects of hands-on experimentation, scientific write-ups (there are journal papers) and modelling. This, to me, is what online learning is all about (and yet, you're not working on the computer at all, hardly). Related: Travelogue of an Armchair Traveller is a website that came to my attention when they used one of my photos. This is a great suite that finds unique locations around the world and then collects photos people have taken of that location. Again, this strikes me as a great sort of learning activity.
