Live from Boone Lake: Interdisciplinary Problem-Based Learning Meets Public Science Writing
Amador, Jose A.; Miles, Libby
Journal of College Science Teaching, v45 n6 Jul 2016
As strong proponents of problem-based learning (PBL), the authors designed and taught an interdisciplinary, team-taught PBL course on Writing Science for the Public at a midsize northeastern state university. This approach led to emphasizing collaboration and experiential learning and resulted in media-rich student projects.
