Project module
The Project module was created as joint effort by universities in Sapporo (Japan), Kyoto (Japan), Melbourne (Australia), Missouri (USA) and Tampere (Finland). The development is presided over by Don Hinkelman and Tom Robb.
The module is intended to guide project-based learning--students creating publishable files or other on-line projects. It includes flexible sequencing of five modules--brainstorm, signup, submit, schedule, and assessment. Student projects that can be managed with this module are artwork, websites, powerpoint presentations, essays, and research articles, especially those requiring multiple drafts and multiple assessments.
Project Module Version 1.5 was released in October 2005, version 1.6 in July 2006, and version 1.7 in March 2007. Tom Robb reports that Project Module 1.7release2 also works successfully in Moodle version 1.8.
