Project-based learning (PBL) is an instructional approach that engages students in learning essential knowledge and life-enhancing skills through an extended, student-influenced inquiry process structured around complex, authentic questions and carefully designed products and tasks. PBL references theories that support experiential and hands-on learning. It provides opportunities for students to gain skills like collaboration, critical thinking, and problem solving that prepare them for further education and careers in a changing world. The document provides examples of technology tools that can support PBL approaches in the classroom by facilitating research, collaboration, and assessment of student work.
Project-Based Learning is a unique approach in terms of teaching strategy wherein the educator provides the students with an opportunity to do an assignment independently.

How do we empower our students to thrive in the 21st century? How do we design student-centered learning environments in our courses that take advantage of the best, still relevant aspects of the Industrial Age education and infuse them with the necessary elements for our undergraduates to thrive in the Robotic Age? The presentation will explain the framework for course design and classroom strategies to aid in successful implementation of such student-centered, collaborative project-based learning environment in university courses.

Projects may be carried out by both individuals and within groups. The outputs might include a report, presentation, poster, artefact or prototype (physical or digital). Project based learning is “a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an engaging and complex question, problem, or challenge.” (BIE 2015).
When undertaking a project, seven distinct stages have been identified that the project owner(s) go through. These are: the question, plan, research, produce, improve, present and evaluate. At each stage students may engage in a variety of activities. This multifaceted form of learning presents opportunities to participate in authentic and meaningful problems and to develop a range of skills along the journey. Reflecting upon these experiences, can encourage students to reconstruct what they have learned, and go on to confidently articulate the skills they have developed (or have yet to develop), and how they can apply these in other situations. Learning how to self-reflect on these experiences and developing a habit of doing so, can have a profound impact on learning. However for some this does not come easily and is often undervalued.
In my talk I will share the Project Based Learning (PjBL) Toolkit and how resources within this can be used to scaffold effective and meaningful multimedia reflective practice, develop confident communication skills and digital capabilities.

Constructivist, Instructivist and Socio-Constructivist views of teaching tech...Olufemi Jeremiah Olubodun
This is a comparison of Instructivist and constructivist pedagogical approaches and their applications in different situations, which make clear the comparative advantages of both approaches. Instructivist learning, places the teacher in authority while the constructivist shifted authority to no one in particular but shared responsibilities between learner and teacher in such a manner that the teacher no longer assumes the responsibilities of the passage of information/knowledge to the learner but only guides him to discover the ‘objective truth’ out there and in the attainment of learning objectives. Teaching and Learning process was redefined in the light of ‘new’ understanding in teaching and learning and practical applications of these pedagogical approaches were considered. I presented a study guide (Appendix 1) as an example of socio-constructivist pedagogy where emphasis in on learning rather than on teaching.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. What is Project-based Learning?
Many Educators and theorists like John Dewey have found the advantages
of “hands-on learning”. Others call this experiential learning, learning by
doing, student-focused approaches. Unknowingly, we have applied the
same strategy in some of our classroom activities. Fieldtrips, investigatory
Science Projects, Role playing are some examples of student-centered
learning activities, called Project-based Learning
Project-based Learning approach is a product of a revolution of learning
theory. Behaviorists and Psychologists acknowledge that learning takes
place not only in the acquisition of knowledge and skills but also through
social activities. Learners use past knowledge, experiences to
explore, negotiate and construct solutions to problems. In a
sense, learners also learn to apply these solutions to real-based problems
by adapting themselves to the changing world.
3. Why is Project-based Learning significant?
Change is constant. According to Mahatma Gandhi,” We must be the
change we want to see in the world”. Global changes have affected our
way of life and learning. The advent of technology for instance has paved
way for more complexity in our everyday living. Moreover, solving highly
complex problems require students to have the fundamental skills in
reading, writing and math and digital age skills such as teamwork, problem
solving, research gathering, time management, information synthesizing,
utilizing high tech tools.
The traditional “chalk-talk” approach obviously cannot thrive in this age of
technology. PBL provides an avenue for these skills to be achieved and
thus prepare our students to become truly “globally competitive”. It also
becomes an avenue for students to learn according to their own learning
styles and differences. The learning activities are flexible and allow for
more research and interaction to take place in the learning environment,
making avenues for critical thinking and creating communities of lifelong
learners.
