75. “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?”

76. 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.
