What we know about technological support for project-based learning

This paper describes the authors' experiences in building tools to support project-based learning. They briefly describe their successes and failures in three areas: team management and collaboration; supporting reflection; and providing information in project-based form. Their approach combines insights on learning from cognitive science with an appreciation for the practical challenges raised by focusing on projects in a class. Based on their experiences, they conclude that technology can play an important role in supporting project-based learning.
