Each Global Virtual Classroom will be provided with its own directory on a WWW (World Wide Web) server. Each school will have an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) account and password, and will be responsible for maintaining its Web directory. In this way, it will be possible for participants to place files on the server 24 hours a day.

For communication between GVC Contest team schools we we have partnered with Nicenet for the use of their Internet Classroom Assistant (ICA). Developed and provided by a non-profit organization of Internet professionals who give their time to provide services to the Internet community ICA allows messages to be exchanged through either a web-based interface or e-mail or both. It also provides the capability of sharing documents and links among team members.
