Edmentum’s project-based learning (PBL) activities teach 21st century skills for workplace effectiveness, help students develop higher-order thinking skills, and increase course engagement through student agency. Each PBL activity guides students through the process of thinking critically, conducting research, and supporting their arguments with correctly structured and cited written responses. These exercises prepare students for the world of college and career, where articulate writing and discussion skills are critical to success, regardless of each student's personal goals.
