An Introduction to Problem-Based Learning in the Humanities

Problem-based learning is an approach to teaching that has long been used in the fields of law, medicine and STEM. At the outset of a module, students are presented with a real-world problem, case study or scenario from their discipline and work together to find a solution, usually culminating in a final product (report, presentation, exhibition etc.) 

This workshop will showcase how problem-based learning techniques can be applied to the humanities classroom, featuring case studies of modules across the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, led by Elettra Carbone (SELCS), Geraldine Horan (SELCS) and Ranjita Dhital (Arts and Sciences). No experience or prior knowledge required.
