Tasks are a great activity to use in project-based learning, they provide students with a list of tasks to work through at their own pace. It's recommended that you 'allow self assessment' on tasks, so that students and teachers can see how students are progressing through the allocated tasks.
When it comes to assessment, you can set up multiple due work options that students can complete allowing students to individualise their learning in the project.
When teaching a unit, you may wish to add an additional layer for a sub-topic. You can use projects to package tasks, quizzes and due work that are contained within a sub-topic.
Flipped classrooms and flipped instruction are a great way to help build student-centred learning environments. However, adding a long list of tasks to a course outline can result in a lot of scrolling on the class page. It also means that it’s difficult for students to differentiate different stages or sub-topics within a topic or unit. With projects, you can design a flipped learning environment and ‘package’ topics or stages into project containers. This means a clearer design for your students and less scrolling!
