This study looks at a project-based learning (PjBL) course in a technology enhanced learning (TEL) environment and concludes that students "demonstrated higher adjusted post-test creative thinking scores than students in the conventional PjBL condition." Obviously this result is very localized, and this paper depends a lot onb how the assessment was structured and what, exactly, was meant by 'creative thinking scores'. These were measured as a combination of four creative thinking outcomes: fluency, flexibility, originality, and appropriateness. The concept is interesting, which is why I linked to the study, but presenting it as though it were a medical experiment (which language like "because the instructional condition was assigned to intact classes, this difference reflects an observed association rather than a definitive treatment effect") left me wanting a less formal presentation (which would probably more accurately represent the research conditions).
