The online platform for the hands-on classroom
Cura’s PBL platform makes it easy to plan and deliver your PBL curriculum.
Everything in one place.
Running a PBL unit shouldn’t be rocket science. But when planning documents and student work are saved across your LMS, Google Classroom, and in your email, keeping on top of each class feels more complex than the Apollo mission.
Cura’s PBL platform helps you manage the chaos. Everything you need for the unit is in one place. The curriculum is set out in an easy-to-follow workflow which students can navigate at their own pace. Student and teacher resources are at your fingertips. It makes planning each class a breeze.
Blend offline and online learning.
Online curriculum tries to disguise the fact it’s really a textbook on a screen. But it isn’t fooling anyone. A few drag-and-drop exercises won’t ever be a substitute for hands-on, collaborative learning.
Yes, Cura’s PBL platform is online. We can’t deny that. But all the work students do across our curriculum isn’t. Whilst students save and store their work on the platform, they don’t work on it. They spend their classes working face to face with their peers and making things with their hands. Small distinction, massive difference.
See what students are working on.
PBL is powerful because it gives students agency to drive their learning. They can use what they learn to solve real-world problems. But a challenge for teachers is knowing what students are working on and where they are up to at any one time.
Cura’s PBL platform gives you back control. You can see where students are up to, which tasks they’ve completed, and what work they’ve done. You can monitor progress and performance for every question of every unit.
Have the peace of mind to know that everyone’s on track. Re-direct students when they’re straying off course.
Help your students shine with 360° feedback.
Formative assessment sits at the heart of a hands-on, real-world unit. Each piece of feedback helps students improve their content and skills understanding. But when feedback is oral or isn’t tracked, it’s hard to know which students you’ve given feedback to and what they’ve done with it.
Cura’s PBL platform makes 360° feedback so easy. You can view and assess student work. You can leave feedback for students to see. You can even request that students revise and resubmit their responses.
