University programs are often structured around project-based learning. Students in collaborative teams explore specific areas in depth and ultimately capture and disseminate their learning to other teams in a very powerful way: by creating a knowledge transfer process which results in a learning community - accelerating the learning of everyone over time.

Research indicates that students are more likely to retain the knowledge gained through this approach far more readily than through traditional textbook-centered learning. In addition, students develop confidence and self-direction as they move through both team-based and independent work.

In the process of completing their projects, students also hone their organizational and research skills, develop better communication with their peers and adults, and often work within their community while seeing the positive effect of their work.Because students are evaluated on the basis of their projects, rather than on the comparatively narrow rubrics defined by exams, essays, and written reports, assessment of project-based work is often more meaningful to them.
