Virtual Course Projects are set up by Educators to enable students to apply specific concepts or theories to solve a real-world problem. Students work mostly in teams under the guidance of the educators to earn credits, as a part of a course-curriculum.
Project-based learning (PBL), as this methodology is widely known as, has been widely adopted for a broad range of subjects in a number of leading universities including Berkeley (UC), Carnegie Mellon, Duke, and Stanford.
In addition, educators are increasingly involving employers in these projects to provide complementary insights as well as demo examples of business applications.
With ProjectSet, you can now choose from a wide range of employers – irrespective of their location or distance. In addition, your students can work with minimal guidance by accessing our free online library of tools and templates.
You will have access to a digital dashboard for a real-time view of progress, including student and employer engagement. If you are interested in attracting a specific employer, we may be able to assist you in the process.
Virtual internships offer an innovative way for students to find and participate in work experience programs that they may not have otherwise been able to. With ProjectSet, educators can work with employers to create virtual internships in which educators have the option to invite a mentor to improve learning outcomes for the students.
As a mentor, you can guide the interns efficiently from anywhere, anytime – synchronously or asynchronously. Our online library and tools ensure that your interns complete the project with minimal demand on your time. Moreover, you can track progress their outputs, chat threads and timesheets!
Your educator or employer network can invite you to join any project as a mentor.
A virtual hackathon is an online event to crowdsource innovative ideas and solutions to a specific problem from a large and diverse population. It allows you to cherry-pick winning ideas and concepts in a time and cost efficient way.
With our platform, any employer or educator in any country can set-up a virtual hackathon in less than 30 minutes and at a fractional cost of a traditional hackathon – and yet reach 10x participants*.
A virtual hackathon can be run in one or two stages based on the number of participants and complexity of the topic. You can include mentors, workshops, keynotes and pitching sessions to drive engagement.
It has never been easier to set-up a virtual hackathon.
