Project work is an established learning activity for students. It is a learner effort-based endeavour towards the higher learning objectives or Bloom’s taxonomic outcomes of beyond application into analysis, evaluation and creation. Its many forms include the final year (or capstone) project, term or mini-projects, group project work, field trips and studies, etc. It can include and extends beyond problem-based learning. The nature of such project work might be investigative, analytical, case study, information gathering, research or development. Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has explored an extension of eLearning from a means of knowledge transfer and delivery coupled with pedagogy to that of knowledge creation and discovery. Via eUreka, this web-based project work management system facilitates the constructivist learning approach of students to be more effectively managed, supervised and mentored. Web 2.0 tools such as weblogs facilitates opportunities to participate, deliberate, feedback, comment and collaborate in the process of learner-centric knowledge creation and discovery.
