How to use the Project Based Learning Planner.
A project needs a meaningful problem, manageable milestones and visible learning. The final artifact alone does not show how the learning objective was met.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Define a meaningful problem and the learning objectives it should develop, then create milestones with observable evidence. Plan reflection and individual explanation so the final artifact does not hide what each learner understood.
- What you provide
- Standards, real-world problem and time available.
- What you get
- Project milestones, deliverables and assessment plan.

Illustrative input and output · a teaching example, not a live WebAct run
Example input
Plan a two-week classroom project investigating paper waste. Learners can count discarded sheets daily and propose one change. Focus on measurement and interpretation, not guaranteed waste reduction.
Completed example
Days 1–2: agree what counts as discarded paper and record a baseline. Days 3–4: summarize counts and discuss where waste appears. Day 5: choose one feasible change and predict its effect. Days 6–9: apply the approved change and record counts using the same rule. Day 10: compare the observations, discuss other possible influences and present a recommendation. Learning evidence: count records, a chart, the reasoning behind the change and each learner's explanation of the result.

Decisions and troubleshooting.
Does an attractive final product prove the learning objective was met?
Not by itself. Include evidence of reasoning, decisions and individual understanding throughout the project.
Why does the project become busywork near the deadline?
Check whether tasks contribute to the problem and learning goals. Remove decorative work that displaces investigation or explanation.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
