- Encourages active construction of knowledge, rather than passive receiving of information
- Encourages collaborative efforts
- Uses multiple sensory modalities
- "Student-created projects are beneficial, in addition because
they often involve substantial work, open-ended assignments,
theme-based activities, and knowledge and experiences that the students
draw from a wide variety of sources."
