Helping Teachers Implement Experience Based Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experience Based Learning (EBL) is a process in which real world problems are used to help and motivate students to identify, apply, collaborate and communicate their knowledge effectively. However, implementation of EBL requires substantial effort on the part of teacher involving new teaching strategies and significant course restructuring. Also, coming up with suitable problems and solutions in sufficient detail that still allow for creativity and individuality is time consuming and difficult. This project focuses on facilitating the development of a problem-based repository of teaching resources. We are developing a web-based system to capture valuable teaching resources that may otherwise be lost and provide a searchable repository of problems and solutions that can be reused in a number of different units, possibly being expanded on each reuse, to implement EBL.
