PBL innovation
The grant supports practical innovations within UM’s teaching and learning environment. EDLAB aims to diversify Problem-Based Learning (PBL) formats and to strengthen the integration of collaborative, contextual, constructive, and self-directed (CCCS) learning.
We therefore support creative ideas that may lead to innovations in areas such as PBL–CCCS, the design, delivery and assessment of education, global citizenship education, and the overall learning and teaching experience at UM.
