In principle, someone is working on it and there should be a better version in a not so distant future.

Definition
The Moursund project-based learning model as presented here has been published in one of the most popular textboooks, intitled "Project-based learning: Using Information Technology".
The model presented here draws from a summary of Moursund 2002: 57-64). We did not simply summarize, therefore it is our (DSchneider)'s interpretation of the model.
Context
This model can be applied (or rather adapted) to a wide range of project-based learning at various levels of teaching.
Definition of goals
Typicially project-based learning involves definition of different kinds of goals, e.g.:
- Gain knowledge and skills within a global (class-wide) subject area
- Gain knowledge and skills in individual project-related subject areas
- Improve IT skills (in particular improve ICT-enhanced "knowledge working" and "community of practice") skills
- Improve general problem solving skills including metacognitive and other learning strategies.
