Center for Teaching & Learning

This session introduces you to project-based learning via a participatory exercise, illustrating the design and scaffolding of a student project experience.  Working in small groups, we will work through the initial steps of a project and reflect on its educational design and strategies.  From there we will examine sample project assignments all with an eye to developing an understanding of what it takes to create high quality experiential learning opportunities for our students.  We will close by sharing strategies to overcome the hurdle of adding projects to courses that already keep students and faculty busy.

This workshop is facilitated by Dr. Kristin Wobbe, director of Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s Center for Project-Based Learning. Read more about her and the center on this CTL page.
