Webinar series: Challenge-based education at Aalborg University | 23 June

Join the open debate about the best ways to implement challenge-based learning at the 4TUs and learn more about the experiences of Aalborg. 

Challenge-based education at Aalborg University

Aalborg University has a long history on Problem Based Learning (PBL), as of 1974, and all University programmes are based on the PBL model. The PBL based pedagogical model is internationally recognized.

In this session we will learn from prof. Anette Kolmos about Aalborg’s experiences in PBL and especially in understanding and implementing the change from a more traditional paradigm towards more student centred learning (CBL, PBL).  We will look at implementing CBL and PBL models and will gain deeper insight of implementing this change in Engineering Education at an institutional level.
