Good question and thanks for asking... I use "project" as it's defined in the EFF Assessment Report: How Instructors can Support Adult Learners Through Performance- Based Assessment by Sri Ananda: "A project is an in-depth, hands-on exploration of a topic, theme, idea, or activity, resulting in a product, performance, or event for assessment" (page 11). <http://novel.nifl.gov/lincs/collections/eff/eff_publications.html> And here's a definition for "project-based learning" that I found in the ERIC Digest, Project-Based Learning for Adult English Language Learners by Donna Moss and Carol Van Duzer: "Project-based learning is an instructional approach that contextualizes learning by presenting learners with problems to solve or products to develop." <http://www.cal.org./ncle/digests/projbase.htm> Hope this helps. If anyone has other questions or something to add, please holler back. Ronna Ronna G. Spacone NIFL-4EFF List Moderator rgspacone@worldnet.att.net
