I've been looking at examples of project based units and it seems to me that
a lot of what I've looked at are projects that could be picked up and placed
in a high school or even middle school curriculum.  It made me wonder.....

What is the difference between project based activities appropriate for
traditional classrooms, for example secondary education, and adult
classrooms?  Is there a difference, and, if so, what makes them different?

In addition, what elements make the project EFF?

Thanks,
