It's easy in project-based experiences to get caught up in the shiny final 'product' at the end. But just like the tip of an iceberg, the product is only a small part of a much deeper PROCESS of learning taking place underneath.

How do we capture that process, and make it more visible? What simple tool might allow learners to document that process on their own?

Welcome to Unrulr, a social learning app that makes holisitic learner growth visible through capturing authentic moments throughout the PBL process.

In this short podcast interview, I sit down with Unrulr's Head of Growth, Aaron Schorn to learn how we as edu-transformers can:

Better elicit student reflection through the PBL process
Capture evidence of learner growth
Make learning experiences feel more social, and community driven
Help learners create 'learning journeys' to share their story of learning through meaningful project-based experiences

Connect with Aaron on LInkedIN and Twitter.
