Press release on MOOC PBLLA18 for immediate publication:
New Online Course and Community opened:
“Problem-Based Learning and Learning Analytics: How to combine?”
The Online Course and Online Community PBLLA18 opened now! “We are eager to discuss how problem-based learning and learning analytics can improve our future lifelong learning”, says Dr. Christian M. Stracke from the Open University of the Netherlands. Together with his colleague Dr. Olga Firssova, he designed this new learning experience PBLLA18 for the European PBL 3.0 consortium.
The live and open online course PBLLA18 will explore the concept of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) first. It explains the new PBL 3.0 model and compare it with other highly successful PBL approaches. The PBL 3.0 consortium offers PBLLA18 with key literature and live presentations to learn about problem-based learning visions and practices. Furthermore, the online course introduces the concept of Learning Analytics (LA). The overall objective is to discuss and learn how problem-based learning can be combined and supported with learning analytics. This online course will officially be launched on 19th of November 2018. It will take four weeks with an introduction phase for all participants starting on 1st of November 2018. And it will include an opportunity to define and select a related project with online collaboration and follow up in small groups.
The course is provided in combination with an online community. The online community allows to connect with all other learners interested in problem-based learning and learning analytics. All participants can build their network, share their experiences and latest news as well as discuss practical questions and implementations. Everybody can decide upon preference to define and create an own personal network or to select and join an existing network at local, regional or global level.
That is a unique opportunity: PBLLA18 is combining a live online course and an online community on a hot and relevant topic for our future lifelong learning!
