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
