PBL for Higher Ed Conference
PBL Works is a premier provider of professional development and resources relating to project-based learning (PBL). The PBL for Higher Ed Conference is the go-to event for immersive Project Based Learning education, teaching, and instruction.
In this three-day conference program you will learn all about Gold Standard Project-Based Learning and, most importantly, how to get started in your own course. We are also offering a one-day pre-conference option, which we highly recommend to those new to PBL and to those who would like an immersive PBL experience.
The PBL for Higher Ed Conference will equip participants with strategies for implementing engaging, student-centered project-based learning (PBL) experiences. Through dynamic facilitation, collaboration, and reflection, participants will develop a vision for PBL, design a short Gold Standard PBL project for one of their courses, and learn strategies for sustained inquiry and learner-centered practices.
If you are curious about Project Based Learning or are a PBL educator, this is an event that you do not want to miss.
