I have a pretty massive list called The Best Sites For Cooperative Learning Ideas.

It’s filled with great stuff, but it’s also a bit unwieldy.

You’ll find a bunch of resources on Project-Based Learning and Problem-Based Learning there, but I thought it would be useful to create this separate list just focused on these two popular examples of group projects.  I’m also just including which links from that big lists that I think are most useful.

In case you’re wondering what the difference is between these two group learning activities, a simple way to explain the difference is Project-Based Learning can be used to describe a task that typically results in a concrete presentation.  Problem-Based Learning often has that as a result too, but the focus is on solving a particular problem.
