Discussing the difference between project-based assessments versus project-based learning is a popular topic among educators. Therefore, I have this conversation with educators often. I understand why this can be confusing because, for some time, 'doing projects' or project-based assessments, project-based learning, and problem-based learning were used interchangeably. This episode will discuss the difference between project-based assessments and project-based learning.

In this episode, you will learn:

• The reason why teachers are confused about the difference between project-based assessments or 'doing projects' and project-based learning
• How I started implementing projects in my class over a decade ago and why it wasn’t really project-based learning
• What project-based assessments or ‘doing projects’ look like in a classroom
• The main characteristics of project-based assessments versus project-based learning
