● Multidisciplinary.● Focus on process, exploration

and collaboration.● Open: students choose path. ● Students have need to knows

and are responsible for their learning.

● Students taught when needed. ● Real life applications.● Innovative solutions to problems.● Presented to a public audience.

● Often single subject. ● Focus on product.● Tasks done at home or in class.● Closed: goals are set, little to no

student choice.● Information is presented in a way

specified by the teacher. ● Content often taught in lessons by

the teacher culminating in a project.

● Often similar year after year with similar products.
