Web-based LearningWeb-based project learning is a “student-
driven, teacher facilitated approach to learning.”
Students develop an inquiry based on their natural curiosity and conduct research under the teacher’s supervision.
(Bell, 2010)

Real World Implications “Project-based learning[…] can provide
students with the opportunity to work with emerging technologies and also gain important industrial experience.”
(Gibson, O’Reilly &
Hughes, 2002)
“Students gain valuable skills that will build a strong foundation for their future in our global economy.” (Bell, 2010)

Intrinsic Motivation “ [A] teaching strategy providing choices
could produce dramatic increases in students’ intrinsic motivation and engagement in learning”
“[Web-based project learning] can enhance student motivation and promote self-directed learning because the learning issues usually arise from problems that attract the interest of students”
(Lam, Cheng & Ma, 2008)

Bloom’s Taxonomy

‘[Project based learners] demonstrate a real grasp (learning, understanding, and application) of the material under study and illustrate the wide potential for learning and information gathering provided by the web.”
(Gibson, O’Reilly & Hughes, 2002)
![Page 10: Implications of web based project learning](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051412/54b5abc24a7959400b8b45b1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Disadvantages Social loafing: some students reported
negative group experiences due to their perception of social loafing
(Lam, Cheng
& Ma, 2008) This is why building a community in your
classroom and teaching students about accountability is important before beginning a web-based project
![Page 11: Implications of web based project learning](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051412/54b5abc24a7959400b8b45b1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DisadvantagesAs a new teaching approach, project based
learning has encountered skepticism, because it bears little resemblance to current practices or methods teachers had learned and experienced as students themselves.
(Lam, Cheng & Ma, 2008)
As teachers we are suppose to be constantly learning. This new approach to teaching is another thing teachers will have to learn in order to produce the most successful students.
![Page 12: Implications of web based project learning](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051412/54b5abc24a7959400b8b45b1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
DisadvantagesScaffolding is needed for success. This means
that teachers will need to put in a lot of time, as well as much support and monitoring.
Yes, successfully implicating a web-based project will take a lot of time at first, but the whole idea of scaffolding is that it is temporary. As the students gain skills, the scaffolds are removed, creating a more teacher-facilitated approach.

“Should there be questions relating to ICT in the curriculum, they must be concerned with
‘how’ it can best be included, rather than ‘why’ it should.”
(Gibson, O’Reilly & Hughes, 2002)
