The Challenges

This chapter contains over fifty different challenge based learning activities, designed to help improve active engagement in learning. This is by no means an exhaustive list and may act as inspiration for development of new challenges. Each challenge entry contains a brief description, followed by the learning tools commonly used (discussed in the Appendix) and a set of example challenges. Many of these challenges have been inspired by Problem Based Learning and Game Based Learning innovations, but not all of these challenges necessarily conform to the definition a ‘problem’ or a ‘game’. With each challenge, connections to the key Challenge Based Learning concepts of interactivity, play and challenge are noted. There is an amount of overlap between many of the challenges and creativity can come from mixing and matching to spark unique ideas.
