What is Challenge-Based Learning (CBL)?
At TU/e innovation Space, we like to think of Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) as an educational philosophy, a way of thinking about learning and teaching. It is a student-centric approach to education that fosters creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, while providing students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge to real-world challenges. It is gaining increasing attention in higher education as a way to prepare students for the complex and rapidly changing world they will face after graduation.
