The Role of Technology in Project-Based Learning
Copyright: © 2022 |Pages: 15
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-8177-3.ch006
Abstract
This chapter is designed to inform teachers, administrators, educational policymakers, and researchers on the role of technology in a project-based learning (PBL) environment. Because technology and PBL are so intertwined, it is impossible to discuss one without the other. It is still unclear the impact technology has on student achievement, but it is clear there are new and additional ethical concerns that have arisen due to the increased use of technology. The primary concern is privacy. The chapter provides an introduction, background information, and relevant research available regarding the role of technology in a PBL environment. Additional resources are provided as well.

Copyright with an International Perspective for Academics
The “public domain” describes the body of works that, for whatever reason, are not covered by copyright or other legal controls over their use. Unlike open source works, there are no conditions imposed upon works in the public domain with the exception that where the European droits moraux is applicable, then the moral rights of the author must be respected. Under United States law, unless the owner explicitly states to the contrary, any work created after 1923 must be assumed to not be in the public domain. Unless a work is very old, determining that it is in the public domain can be very difficult and depends on the particular details of the country that the use is occurring.
