An online platform for project based learning - a proposal

Summary/Abstract: Project Based Learning (PBL) has become a widely used teaching method in K-12 education and spread to higher education. It has been used in many technical fields, particularly in Engineering, also increasingly now in Computer Science. PBL is a student centered pedagogy that integrates knowing and doing. Through real life projects,, students work as teams to form project ideas, design projects and implement projects. Research has shown that PBL can motivate learning, enhance learning quality, and help students learn not only technical skills but also soft skills .While PBL has a number of benefits, it is also quite challenging to implement PBL effectively. In this paper, we propose an online platform to prompt the implementation of authentic PBL at the program level across different courses. The purpose of this online platform is to build a community for students to find, share, implement and discuss projects, as well as facilitate better communication between students and faculty members across different courses.
