SUMMARY:"Project-Based Learning: What\, Why\, and How" with Dr. Kristen Wobbe
DESCRIPTION:Online via Zoom. Register to attend. \nAll faculty are invited to attend. \nCollege educators are currently grappling with how to give their students learning opportunities that engage their interests while helping them develop the knowledge and skills central to their courses. Project-based learning can be an effective approach. In this session\, Dr. Kristen Wobbe will identify key principles of PBL\, share data demonstrating its effectiveness\, and share examples of high-quality projects from STEM disciplines. Participants will leave with guidelines and tips for developing high-impact projects for their own students. \nLearning Objectives:\nParticipants will be able to articulate the design principles of PBL which they can incorporate.\nParticipants will be able to articulate the value of PBL to students\, faculty\, and the institution.\nParticipants will be able to assess assignments for their quality and effectiveness for engaged learning. \nDr. Kristin Wobbe is the Director of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s (WPI) Center for Project-Based Learning (CPBL) and interim dean of the Global School at WPI.\nIn her role as director of the CPBL\, she provides workshops and training for colleges and universities to support their use of project-based learning.  Prior positions include the director of the Great Problems Seminar program\, WPI’s first-year projects program; associate dean for undergraduate studies; Metzger Chair and Head of the Chemistry and Biochemistry department.  She has been faculty at WPI since 1995.  Her teaching awards include the Moruzzi Prize for Innovation in Undergraduate Education\, and she is a co-recipient of the 2016 Bernard M. Gordon Prize for Innovation in Engineering and Technology Education awarded by the National Academy of Engineering. She received her BA in chemistry from St. Olaf College and her PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology from Harvard University. She is co-editor of Project-Based Learning in the First Year (Stylus).  \nNote: while the focus of this webinar is for STEM faculty\, it will be informative for faculty of many non-STEM fields.  All are welcome!\nRegistration is required to receive the Zoom link. \nUnable to attend the live session? Please still register to receive a recording of the webinar afterward. \nThis work is supported by the National Science Foundation under grant No. 2311235.
