Brought to you by Arm, this course focuses on an aspect of Project-Based Learning that teachers often find challenging: how to assess it effectively.

Assessment of PBL can be challenging. In this course, we explore the purpose and methods of assessment, including what educators need to consider when applying both formative and summative assessment tools.

The course also introduces you to the additional opportunities PBL affords in assessing soft skills, such as problem-solving and collaboration.
