Abstract

It has long been observed that people learn best doing, and engaging in meaningful, authentic projects. Project Based Learning (PBL) affords students the opportunity to learn while going through a complex set of tasks. In addition, they must use collaboration, communication, creativity, and problem-solving to create a final product. There are many steps to go through to create and carry out an effective PBL unit with students. The purpose of this project was to create a web-based resource to simplify steps to PBL.
