If you have clicked on some of the resource links in this section, you already know something about the IjtihadToday web site. It is aimed at the worldwide community of Muslims who want to contribute their best thinking towards addressing some of the most pressing problems and concerns faced by society. Among other features, the site serves as a library of leadership development scenarios and related resource materials. It is also an excellent repository for content generated by student teams while performing scenario work.
Structured in a fashion similar to the well-known free encyclopedia called Wikipedia, the site provides the tools for writing and updating articles, and provides talk pages where every article submitted is open for discussion among the collaborative community. To be able to add content to the site, each person needs to set up a free account that requires a username and password.
When collaborating with people located outside of the classroom, a very helpful tool is Skype, software that allows users to make free computer to computer telephone calls over the Internet. The free software enables users to participate in conference calls that can include up to 9 people at no charge. It is a great tool that complements the IjtihadToday and Time & Strategy tools for coordinating work across large distances.
