How often has it been that you were discussing with your fellow colleagues on Project Based Learning (PBL) and ended with a note that, “well they are exciting but if only you had some handy resources at the reach of your fingertips that could help you kick-start action plans?”
As an educator, the real challenge for you is not extracting detailed understanding on any innovative pedagogical approach but managing the right resource to get started with the action plan. You may know it well that both Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) and Project Based Learning (PBL) are two most authentic student-centered pedagogical approaches that can ignite the right environment for students to acquire deeper knowledge through questioning and active exploration of real-world challenges and problems.
