E-learning terminology

Problem-based learning starts with a complex, open-ended problem without a predetermined solution, where students map what they know and what they need to learn, formulate hypotheses, and iteratively test ideas. Typical steps in implementing problem-based learning include: scenario analysis, problem formulation, research plan, source collection and evaluation, solution testing, and reflection.

Project-based learning centers around the creation of a tangible product or service for a real audience, often driven by a driving question. In project-based learning, the emphasis is on the project plan, clear success criteria and rubrics for evaluation, key points for checking progress (en. milestones) and public presentation.
