Useful information	This project course from Vital, an innovative professional development programme delivered by The Open University, provides an opportunity for teachers to plan, carry out and evaluate a project in their classroom. It is supported by a set of resources and activities to give teachers ideas for possible projects. They are not expected go through every resource but to pick those which are most relevant to their interests, context and possible project. Users will need a computer with a web browser, headset (including microphone and speakers) for online tutorials (optional webcam).
Other (e.g. time frame)	Teachers should allow for about one to two hours per week for this on top of the time taken to do the project in your classroom or other setting.
