[2.4] How can we create a memorable experience via project-based learning?

Do you have a topic to suggest or insight to share? Text me. I enjoyed college because most of the learning activities the professors used would be considered active learning strategies. We engaged in many case studies or projects, and the professor would utilize relevant current events to lead class discussions. I can share specific learning activities that I experienced during undergraduate and graduate school which occurred over 15 years ago. We want students to remember their learning experiences two decades later as well. In a previous episode, I shared the 6 A's of project design that Adria Steinberg developed: authenticity, academic rigor, applied learning, active exploration, adult connections, and assessment practices. We discussed incorporating adult connections or relationships in a project-based learning unit in a previous episode. This episode will explore how to ensure that your PBL unit includes active exploration and applied learning opportunities so students can experience academic-related content beyond the classroom.
