The Institute for Transforming University Education is offering a Problem-Based Learning Workshop this January for University faculty (K-12 teachers are also welcome).

Problem-based learning (PBL) connects disciplinary knowledge to real-world problems so that the motivation to solve a problem becomes the motivation to learn. Students in a PBL model engage with complex, challenging problems and work collaboratively toward their resolution.

The four-day workshop runs Jan. 9-12 at locations across campus and is facilitated by University faculty Philip Duker, John Jungck, Agnes Ly, Alenka Hlousek-Radojcic and Jenifer Pugliese, and is available at no cost to UD faculty, graduate students and instructional staff.

Interactive sessions include an introduction to problem-based learning, the student experience in a PBL classroom, focus on problem-writing, designing a course around PBL, and how PBL works in the age of AI, as well as time for questions and small-group discussion.

Registration is required by Jan. 1.
