Project-Based Learning (PBL) gives students the opportunity to learn through the use of projects and problem-solving. Projects are more than just engaging lessons. They include essential elements that raise the rigor of learning in the project. PBL projects are aligned with multiple standards and often across multiple content areas. They also tend to be student-driven with many opportunities for students to make choices about how they work on their project, and how they present their findings. PBL is often used with a diverse group of learners and is differentiated to meet the needs of those learners as they work together.
In this online self-paced course, you will learn about the essential project design elements and participate in activities that explore how Project Based Learning can enhance the distance learning classroom.
