Summer course to highlight methods of problem-based learning

Brussels, May 2002

A European summer university on 'teaching by projects at European universities,' organised by Paris 7 University with the support of the French Ministry of education will take place in Paris, France from 9 to 14 September.

The event will highlight the methods of problem-based learning, which constitutes an alternative and complement to traditional pedagogy. It transforms the conditions of learning by introducing a dynamic and collaborative dimension into the production and acquisition of knowledge and skills. New technologies assist the teaching method by facilitating interactivity.
