Design Features for Project-Based Learning

There are several people I want to recognize for their involvement and support of this research project. First is Dr. George H. Copa, my major professor, whose mentorship, insight, and wisdom inspired excellence in learning, process, and product. Second are the participants who were willing to give their time and energy in pursuing ways to improve learning, specifically collaborative, project-based learning by identifying features of the physical learning environment that support and enhance the learning process. The members of my graduate committee, Drs. Warren Suzuki, Shirley Anderson, Earl "Joe " Johnson, and Barbara Roth, provided guidance through thoughtful query and suggestions for improvement. I also want to gratefully acknowledge the participants of the study and the tremendous contributions they made. Those wanting to be identified are listed at the end of the document
