Active Learning Projects - French - Blogging Project

Learning science in the blogosphere
Project-based learning is defined as a comprehensive approach to classroom teaching and learning that is designed to engage students in investigation of authentic problems. Over the years we have interpreted "authentic problems" as those that reflect settings that students encounter when they take up jobs after their study. We have typically asked students to prepare seminars, posters or write project reports and to good satisfaction. The Internet is changing the way science is communicated, taught, and perceived and scientists have an increased online presence in science social media as well as science blogging platforms.

We reasoned that students, being future experts that may feed the knowledge-negotiation process, have to be exposed to this medium in a scholarly fashion. Below you find the results of a blogging project held within a Cell Biology course for 1st year Biology majors, in which students were instructed to elaborate a science blog.
