We wrote about it Demand based learning in the past, as well as his mother project based learningand its more complex cousin independent learning.
Therefore, it made sense to take a look at challenge-based learning – the process of anchoring the learning process through problems – usually local, authentic and personal to the student. This is a type of place-based education that takes a project-based approach, beginning and ending with the student and their respective and self-assessed citizenship.
More on this idea shortly. First the stages and questions.
