  • What are the eight essential design elements of Project-Based Learning?
  • How do the elements fit together to create Project-Based-Learning?
  • Does your PBL meet the criteria?

Now that you have a better understanding of what Project-Based Learning is all about, it's time to look at what goes into creating a project for your classroom. There are currently 8 essential design elements of PBL. Think of these as the criteria you need to meet for a well developed project. In this module, you will learn what (and why) these elements are. As you read, make notes in your Learning Journal. You should focus on understanding each of these elements and how they connect. Also, reflect on your potential ideas for projects and choose one that you can develop easily within these criteria. Consider this as your test project going forward.
