ICT Enhances Learning


ICT Enhances Learning

PBL improves learning when learners apply classroom-gathered knowledge to real-world problems.

Adapted from Powerful Learning: What We Know About Teaching for Understanding, Linda Darling-Hammond, et al. 2008

What the research says…

PBL improves learning when projects require sustained engagement and collaboration.



Active-learning impacts learner performance more than any other variable, including student background and prior achievement.



Learners are most successful when they are taught how to learn as well as what to learn.
