=**Project Overview** =

 **Audience:**
 What follows are the details of a project-based learning (PBL) exercise that adult learners (educators) might experience in a face-to-face, multi-session professional development series on integrating technology into the classroom.

 Project Questions:
 Your team is bidding on an opportunity to design an online course for a school district. There is a limited budget that will only cover your development costs, no subscription fees.


Using free materials, how might you develop a course? How would you market the course to get the district to buy your group's time to create courses? How would this course benefit students and improve learning from the standard face to face course?
