Knowledge, Learning, Community

I'm a fan of problem-based learning (PBL), but with one caveat. As this article notes, every instance starts with "a clear driving question or problem statement.... The driving question is the heart of any PBL project." Which is great, however, not every instance of learning starts with a problem. A lot of learning is based on exploration and discovery. Seeing what's there. But PBL gets your hands on learning in a big way. You don't just explore, you wrestle. And that explains the remaining four tips outlined in this short article: create opportunities for collaboration, provide access to resources, focus on the process not the outcome, and celebrate the work.
