PBL & PBI
PBL- Problem Based Learning
In Problem- Based Learning, students are either given a pre-defined problem or a "wicked" problem or "fuzzy" situation from which to extract specific problems. Students then must attempt to solve the problem and create a solution that attempts to address the problem.

PBI- Project Based Instruction
In Project-Based Instruction, students are given a project to complete, with varying amounts of flexibility and freedom to interpret the parameters of the project. Some projects are very strictly defined; some allow vast amounts of freedom in completion.

In both PBL and PBI, the emphasis is on the community outside of the school building, so design solutions must be presented to people other than the student or the student's own group. Hands-on learning by doing and making is encouraged, and students develop skills and abilities to help them in the future.
