Eight quick tips for doing project-based learning online.

Online in Mind
- Form teams based on similar schedules or time zones. Keep teams small to avoid meeting time conflicts.
Strengths
- Align roles with individual strengths and interests. Have students "audition" for teams as part of their introduction.
Communication
- Have teams establish communication channels and expectations early on in the project.
Virtual Spaces
- Provide virtual space for team collaboration. Utilize LMS tools where possible.
Schedule
- Provide a task list with interim due dates and a schedule from the onset of the project. Check-in regularly to ensure teams are on track.
Feedback
- Scaffold project elements and provide timely and actionable feedback regularly. Check-in with teams early and often.
Robust
- Develop a project that requires discussion, collaboration, and decision-making to avoid divide and conquer attempts.
Peer Review
- Include peer-review and self-evaluation components throughout project life-cycle.
