Aalborg Universitet Transforming: Pbl Through Hybrid Learning
But as education moves into a post-pandemic, digitally saturated world, even the best pedagogical models face a challenge:
For universities clinging to pure physical PBL out of fear, AAU offers a challenge: the future of work is hybrid. If your students cannot learn to solve complex problems in a hybrid team, you have not prepared them for the real world. But if you adopt AAU’s principles, you will not just transform PBL. You will future-proof it. This article is based on published reports from Aalborg Universitet’s PBL Lab (2024-2025) and interviews with faculty from the Department of Planning and the Technical Faculty of IT and Design. Aalborg Universitet Transforming PBL Through Hybrid Learning
| Metric | Traditional Physical PBL | Hybrid PBL (AAU Model) | |--------|------------------------|------------------------| | Student satisfaction (collaboration) | 88% | 84% | | Supervisor ability to assess individual contribution | 72% | 79% | | Team project completion rate | 91% | 93% | | Student preference for next semester | 76% physical-only | 62% hybrid or mixed | But as education moves into a post-pandemic, digitally
For decades, Aalborg Universitet (AAU) in Denmark has been a global benchmark for Problem-Based Learning (PBL) . Unlike traditional universities that start with theory and end with application, AAU’s model flips the script: students spend each semester tackling a real-world, complex problem in small, self-directed teams. You will future-proof it
My friend was trying to add herself to my Fitbit.
Guess what she added all her friends!!!
Owen to. And blocked EACH one of her friends.
I don’t want to block her friends I want them off my phone!!!
Hi Peggy,
It sounds like she added herself and friends to your phone’s Contacts app instead of the Fitbit app.
Once contacts get added to the phone’s contacts app, rather than block them, I suggest you open the Contacts app and delete them. It will be tedious since you need to do this one by one.
Now, to add friends via the Fitbit app. Open the app and tap the Community tab at the bottom. Then tap the upper tab for Friends and choose Add Friends. Instead of Connect Contacts, at the top choose either email or username (if you know it.) Then enter the email or username of your friend and send them an invite (they must accept the invite to make the connection.)
