Story
A designer of a GBS tends to look at it from the top-down. What drives the design of a GBS is the set of target skills the designer wishes the student to gain in the GBS. A student, on the other hand, tends to look at a GBS from the bottom-up. What drives a student is the context and structure of the activities the GBS offers.
