Join the Northwest eLearning Community for an overview of the Project Based Learning (PBL) conceptual design and integration into online course design at the university level. Seven design elements will be discussed with appropriate handouts and will focus on how PBL builds toward future competency-based education (CBE). In addition, there will be discussion on Portfolios use as a tool in Project Based Learning.
Project Based Learning is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging, and complex question, problem, or challenge. This session will address content curation and essential questions that are major components of Project Based Learning. PBL has been popular in K-12 classrooms for over 30 years, yet has still not gained traction in higher education.
Session Objectives:
-
Participants will identify the 7 design elements that make up Project Based Learning.
Participants will apply elements of PBL into their own course design.
Participants will discuss content curation for university students.
Participants will collaborate with colleagues in attendance to create potential essential questions for courses using Project Based Learning concepts.
