Information

Improving our society starts by improving today’s Higher Education by promoting more attractive and innovative learning and teaching approaches. Challenge-based learning (CBL) is one of those approaches. It’s an innovative learning methodology focused on applying students’ knowledge to solve real-world challenges. It is also an excellent approach to develop creativity, entrepreneurial competences, interdisciplinary and self-regulated learning skills.

In this course you will learn about the main characteristics of CBL and you will discover the ATOM Model, a proposal developed by the ForEMLink (https://www.foremlink.com/) and D-EMIND (https://www.demind.eu/) projects that will help you to promote CBL among your students.
