MODULE E

Project-Based Teaching and Learning

The purpose of this module is to examine Project-Based Learning from two perspectives: the teacher & the learner. Project-Based Learning incorporates all of the Vital Signs of Learning in a deliberate process of learning or building something that is new and of interest and of importance to the learner. The teacher’s role is to assist and monitor the learning process while the learner’s role is to identify and clarify the project’s progress.
