ProjectBasedLearning

This page is intended to be the starting point of discussions about project based learning. We will be adding URLs of web resources that discuss the theory and practice, assessment, design, and examples of successful PBLs.

Questions:

What is Project Based Learning? What are the benefits? and drawbacks? Do the benefits of learning outweigh the additional time it will take? How can it be implemented and integrated within existing curriculum? How is the learning assessed? What factors must be considered when designing a project? What timeframe is reasonable? What possible roadblocks and glitches might we encounter, and how do we bypass those? How do we 'sell' the idea to our colleagues and administrators? Do we have to jump in feet first, or is there a way to just dabble our toes at first?
