Covid-Proof: How Project-Based Learning Has Supported Lockdown

Universities have been subjected to a stress test, with a migration to remote of all their activity. In the educational sector, the results have been very varied, depending on the level of education, the subjects, the methodologies used, the teaching and generic digital competences of the teachers, and the digital competences and personal environment of the students, among other factors. In this article we show our experience with the methodology of project-based learning (PBL) used in the fourth year of the degree of Multimedia Engineering at the University of Alicante. We can say that this methodology has successfully supported lockdown. We describe our experience so that it can be adapted and tested in other situations. It would be necessary to further analyze to establish if the results can be extrapolated to other experiences of PBL, to other active methodologies, even to this own remote proposal from the beginning, without a previous period of presence.
