CONTENT

What does Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) look and feel like from the learner's perspective?

In this workshop, you will get a taste of CBL through a taster challenge: a short, hands-on experience in which you work as part of a learner team and move through the Engage, Investigate, and Act phases of the CBL process.
You will experience an accelerated version of the CBL process. Rather than focusing on the content of the challenge, the emphasis is on discovering how CBL works, how the different phases unfold, and what it feels like to experience CBL as a learner.
Throughout the session, you will also reflect on what CBL means for your role and discuss the opportunities and challenges it presents in your own educational context.

ORGANISATION

The session is organised by CELT
