Online Learning Community on Project-Based Language Learning
My design prototype of an innovative artifact for EDIT 6190 was an online learning community Project-Based Language Learning (PBLL). It is a free open-ended platform as to support English teachers in China who are passionate about PBLL and who are tempting to use this methodology. The problem that I am trying to address comes from my own teaching experience that secondary school teachers are faced with challenges when designing and implementing a PBLL, for example, lack of resources, work overload, team management, student scaffolding, etc. So I hope this learning community allows the teachers to communicate with and support each other, with the ultimate goal to improve teaching and learning experiences.
