With AI's presence in Education, is PBL on the rise?

I liked this article from Defined Educator's Blog that discusses how to effectively use AI in Project Based Learning. AI can be a super tool to guide/ help learning and move students toward the goal of their PBL project. I think we all need to be rethinking assessment a bit with the addition of AI in education. PBL is a great option.


"PBL offers a way to reframe how AI is used in education. By incorporating AI meaningfully, students collaborate with AI to enhance their learning while showcasing critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. PBL shifts AI from being a threat to academic integrity to a valuable tool that enriches the learning experience."

Should Courses Be Broken Up into Learning Experiences? Smaller Grain Size Increases Flexibility and Transparency

Should Courses Be Broken Up into Learning Experiences? Smaller Grain Size Increases Flexibility and Transparency

In a recent design session with a partner, we debated the merits of the grain size of reporting and learning experience design. Most secondary schools (and higher education) across the United States report out at the course level, where the grade or score received at the course level serves as a proxy for proficiency on the course outcomes.
