Now that we know what PBL is and have seen an example of it's use in a corporate environment, let's dive into developing Project Based Lessons for corporate training. Project Based Lessons begin with what I believe to be the most critical aspect of the instructional design process, the Driving Question.

I believe that project based learning is ideally suited for adults in corporate training but sadly there is not much information available. Part of the reason why there is not much information available may be that many instructional designers are creating project based lessons but they haven't put any label on it.

Not everyone is as quick to jump on the bandwagon as many tech savvy instructional designers are. informal learning is the wave of the future in instructional design. I'm sure that I am not the only instructional designer struggling with social or informal learning tools. Well, I am having a hard time riding that wave.

I understand the importance of producing a tangible instructional product quickly but I believe with a mindset like this you will spend more time creating solutions that are not effective or you end up wasting time doing re work after you come up with a great idea halfway through the project.

Back when I started this blog about 3 years ago I was coming from an instructor led training background and transitioning into the world of eLearning. I was working on a variety of instructional design projects involving instructor led (face to face) training and beginning to implement eLearning within my organization.

An Instructional Designers "Cheat Sheet" for Designing Project Based Learning Four blog posts ago I set out on a long strange trip to dissect project based learning in a corporate environment. Based off the name "Project Based Learning", it's not so tough to figure out that it's all about learning through the development of a project.

At first I had a hard time finding specific instructions of how to make a SCORM class work in Moodle. This comes in perfect timing for the eLearning courses I am working on for a management training program. So, I decided to take the leap and try and figure out what this whole SCORM thing was about.
