  Problem-based collaborative work
In class, students are divided in several groups and all of the groups have the same problem to investigate and solve. The learning outcomes of the HE course on project management are given and students need to discuss and argue which strategy (PrBL, PBL, WBL) is the most appropriate to use as a basis for the course learning design.
