Associate Professor of Practice Robin Ott is the recipient of a 2021 Performance-Based Learning Award recipient .
The Project-Based Learning Award , presented every three years , is given to those who effectively implement project-based learning at the course level or a faculty team implementing across courses . The award is designed to recognize faculty , or teams of faculty , who have incorporated project-based learning pedagogy , demonstrating a positive impact on student learning .
Project-based learning s a flexible teaching strategy that supports faculty working to scaffold students through appropriate expectations for their level of development , interests , and goals . PBL can take many forms , but ultimately students are engaged in the exploration of authentic problems as a method of both learning and applying content knowledge to meet course outcomes .
