Introduction

Project-based Learning (PBL) is an investigative approach  to teaching and learning. The technique is not an addition to the curriculum.  It is a continuous process that plays a significant role in deepening the learning experience in all curriculum subjects.In this course we will look at the basic concept of what is PBL.

Overview

PBL naturally supports critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. It integrates technology and real-world problem-solving, preparing students with skills essential for the modern world.
