Real-world connection. Like the Velveteen Rabbit in Margery Williams's famous story, project-based multimedia learning strives to be real. It seeks to connect students' work in school with the wider world in which students live. You may design this feature into a project by means of the content chosen, the types of activities, the types of products, or in other ways. What is critical is that the students—not only the teacher—perceive what is real about the project.
