Activity: Two Truths and a Lie
Use the handout to write out three statements - two true and one that is not true (in any order) - related to your experience either leading or participating in collaborative projects with others in an academic setting.
PBL: A Definition“Project-based learning empowers learners to collaborate in teams, mentored by their teachers, as they research real-world questions, pose solutions to real-world problems, and design real-world products in a rigorous way.”
PBL: Phases1. Preparing building a PBL skillset
2. Initiating generating a project idea
3. Planning developing and pitching a proposal
4. Executing carrying out a project
5. Assessing managing, monitoring, and modifying
6. Publishing publicly sharing a project’s results
Project Management Knowledge Areas
Video: Stanford PBL
Activity: PBL Best PracticesUse the handout to jot down key words and phrases that point to some of the project management best practices that the Stanford PBL team employed.
The 3M CycleThere is a dialectical relationship between the tracking, reporting, and assessing processes. Within the larger context of the monitoring and controlling processes - managing, monitoring, and modifying - these processes contribute to a continuous project management feedback loop.

Discussion: PBL RisksRisk management is a key project management knowledge area.In so far as PBL can be viewed as a ‘project,’ what are the inherent risks of employing PBL with undergraduate students and how might such risks be managed?The monograph hand out includes strategies for addressing risk management within student projects.
