q2 i? Instructor feedback suggests FORAP packaging reduced the initial effort required to design, organize, adopt, and adapt PjBL activities, though preparation time was not directly measured. → Suleiman 2026

Evidence¶

Suleiman 2026¶

Suleiman, A. D., DeWaters, J., Shepherd, D. C., Korkmaz, T., Hussain, F., Liu, Y., & Hou, D. (2026). Adoption-Ready Project-Based Learning for Computing Education: The FORAP Framework and a Multi-Scale Project Portfolio. https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.11129 doi:10.48550/arxiv.2607.11129

q2 · i? · design · r3

Instructor feedback across classroom deployments in the Outcomes section: instructors could start with documentation, student support materials, instructor guidance, and assessment resources already in place. The authors state preparation time was not directly measured, so this is anecdotal, not a quantified comparison.

"Although we did not directly measure preparation time, anecdotal instructor feedback suggests that this packaging reduced the initial effort required to design, organize, adopt, and adapt PjBL activities."
