The Role of Interactive Lessons in Project-Based Learning: Edform's Features and Resources

Have you heard about project-based learning (PBL)? It's a method of education that focuses on hands-on practical projects and working together to solve problems. It's becoming more and more popular in schools and educational settings. However, implementing PBL can be demanding, especially when it comes to creating engaging and interactive lessons that keep students motivated.

This is where Edform comes in. With its features and resources, Edform makes it easier for teachers to incorporate interactive activities into their PBL curriculums.

In this article, we'll explore the role of interactive lessons in project-based learning and how Edform's features and resources can help teachers create engaging and effective lessons for their students. So, whether you're a seasoned educator or just starting, read on to learn how Edform can help you enhance your PBL curriculum and make learning more fascinating and enjoyable for your students.

The Benefits of Interactive Lessons in PBL

Project-based learning requires more emphasis on hands-on activities, those that allow students to actively explore the world around them, even in non-technical classes. Interactive lessons help to achieve this result even in online learning. Let's look at the list of benefits we have compiled especially for our readers!

Engage and Motivate Students

Interactive lessons with multimedia resources like videos, images, and simulations can make learning more enjoyable and engaging for students. Teachers can create interactive lessons that capture students' attention and keep them interested. Assigning tasks directly related to the project can help develop practical writing and speaking skills. For instance, students can record a science experiment at home using video responses. Teachers can grade the task in the reports section within seconds and export results for further analysis

Encourage Collaboration and Communication

Interactive lessons promote collaboration and communication among students. Collaborating on projects and assignments helps students develop valuable skills, like working well in teams, sharing ideas, and solving problems together. It's always better to work with others than to do it alone, so don't hesitate to assign tasks to groups. 

We suggest the following scheme for group assignments:

1. divide students into groups/pairs
2. choose a responsible student and assign them the task
3. students should complete the task in pairs or groups as assigned, and they will share the total score.

Develop Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills

Interactive lessons encourage students to think critically and solve problems. This is the foundation on which critical and creative thinking will be built. Both will be needed when reading literature, reflecting on various topics, and even when analyzing films and TV series. 

We are well aware that this can only be achieved under several conditions:

• Valuable and high-quality instructional material - lectures filled with meaning and practical information
• A convenient and pleasant online learning environment in which both students and teachers will feel comfortable

While we can only advise on the first condition, we can act on the second. Edform is a user-friendly platform with an intuitive interface and is easy to navigate. There is no visual noise and no unnecessary buttons. Everything is straightforward and manageable.

Provide Immediate Feedback and Assessment

Interactive lessons provide immediate feedback and assessment, which helps students identify their strengths and weaknesses. This allows them to make adjustments and improve their learning outcomes.
