19. Design Questions to ask:
• Why are we doing this?
• What value are we getting from F2F
activities? Online? Non-classroom/
community?
• What’s the best way? What’s an innovative
way?
• What can we learn?

27. Project-Based Learning
© 2009 Michael Speaks

28. “Project-Based Learning is a comprehensive
instructional approach to engage learners in
sustained, cooperative investigation (Bransford &
Stein, 1993). Project-Based Learning is a teaching and
learning strategy that engages learners in complex
activities. It usually requires multiple stages and an
extended duration--more than a few class periods
and up to a full semester. Projects focus on the
creation of a product or performance, and generally
call upon learners to choose and organize their
activities, conduct research, and synthesize
information.”
“Project-Based Learning - What is it?”

%2C_and_Project_Based_Learning)

29. Elements of Project-Based Learning
Melissa Palmer, et al. 7 components of project-based learning: http://youtu.be/Vm_NoayYkLo
• Learner-centered environment – feedback and continued
assessment
• Collaboration – peer feedback, pbl.
• Integration of Content – clear goals in process AND product
• Authentic Tasks – addresses real-world issues relevant to
students’ lives and/or communities
• Multiple Presentation Modes – multiple technologies used in
the planning, preparation or presentation of project work.
• Time Management – need time for meaningful doing and
learning.
• Innovative Assessment – ongoing, varied and frequent
assessment from peers, self, instructor as well as reflection.

30. What are the benefits?
According to Edutopia:
•Connecting academic learning to reallife issues and applications
•Better retention of knowledge gained
•Skills in pursuing individually-directed
work as well as team-based work
•Improved technology integration

32. Planning Considerations
• Real world challenge or problem at the core
• Curriculum Based
• Small team organization of course
• Multi-disciplinary/multi-skill approach to work
• Must be a deliverable(s) at the end of the course
• Peer evaluation and accountability as well as instructor
evaluation.
• Other considerations:
‣ Journaling
‣ Shared Workspace
‣ Scaffolding – build skills through smaller projects that lead
