As colleges and universities search for new ways to engage students and prepare them for life after graduation, many are turning to experiential learning and service projects that offer a glimpse into the working world.
These high-impact practices, often taught through project-based learning (PBL) curricula, have been proven to help students integrate and apply knowledge, deepen their understanding of a discipline, and help them understand the links between disciplines.
On November 12th, The Chronicle held the first of three planned hourlong webinars in partnership with Worcester Polytechnic Institute, a leading university for PBL program development. The webinar featured a panel of experts discussing how project-based learning courses can offer high-impact learning opportunities on college campuses nationwide.
