Meeting Learners' Needs through Project-Based Learning

There is a significant divide between what students want and what students receive in the classroom. Students increasingly lack interest and motivation to participate and learn. Instructional practices within and across schools vary widely, creating inconsistencies. Teachers’ instructional plans may put content and curricular needs above individual student needs. For some, the lack of desire to...

Conceptualizing Applied Probability through Project-based Learning

Several prominent educational institutions have recently increased their use of team-based projects to both enhance learning and aid in assessment. We present some of our ongoing research into the use of project-based learning for the instruction of applied probability and stochastic processes at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels. In particular, we will demonstrate how “real-w...

Massive Project Based Learning through a Competition

Embedded systems and robotics are interdisciplinary and have a wide range of applications, making them ideal subjects for sparking innovation and creative thinking in engineering students. One way to teach these subjects to students across the country is through distance education. However, as hands-on experiments are a major part of such courses to be effective, and since most colleges lack ro...

Problem-based learning (PBL):Developing learning capability through the WWW

One interactive learning strategy that holds considerable potential for supporting more learner centred forms of teaching and learning is problem-based learning (PBL). Problem-based learning “ ...is an approach to structuring the curriculum which involves confronting students with problems from practice which provide a stimulus for learning” (Boud & Feletti, 1997). At a more fundamental level P...
