Similarities in practice-based learning

across 3 contexts

• Flexible project choice– Student-led

– authentic discipline-related questions

• Collaborative

• Support student self-assessment

What can LA offer?

• Support the teacher/facilitator

• Increase learner awareness and encourage reflection– Learning how to learn (together)

– Learning how to make

• Help address research questions
