Structure of the Project Question: What are the stated objectives and learning outcomes? Is the learning activity long-term, and does it call on students to plan their work and assess their work over time? Overview: Learning activities afford students the opportunity to acquire self-regulation skills (i.e. Students are expected to be able to work with minimal supervision, which requires them to plan their own work and monitor its quality).

Design of Learning Environment Question: How is the learning planned? To what extent does the planning for learning facilitate the development of different dimensions of 21st century skills e.g. knowledge building, use of ICT for learning, problem-solving and innovation, self-regulation, collaboration and skilled communication. Overview: Examples of planning are outlined (e.g. pedagogic approach, links to resources used) and demonstrate creativity and innovative teaching practices.

Evidence of Learning Question: How does the student work exemplify the planning for learning? [To what extent does the student work demonstrate different dimensions of 21st century skills e.g. knowledge building, use of ICT for learning, problem-solving and innovation, self-regulation, collaboration and skilled communication?] Overview: Various examples of products and outcomes created by learners throughout this project illustrate clear evidence of the learning process engaged in by learners including ground breaking use of ICT.

8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 /8

Collaboration Question: To what extent does the learning activity require students to collaborate and negotiate with other people to make substantive decisions that shape the content, process or product of their work? Overview: The learning activities require students to work with other people, sharing responsibility while making substantive decisions for developing a joint product, a design, or an answer to a complex question. Students may be collaborating with their peers in the classroom, or with students or adults outside the classroom.
