Example of problem/project based learning versus reading cover to cover. The problem/project based learner may memorize a smaller amount of total information due to spending time searching for the optimal information across various sources, but will likely learn more useful items for real world scenarios, and will likely be better at knowing where to find information when needed.
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching method in which students learn about a subject through the experience of solving an open-ended problem found in trigger material.

Anchored Instruction is a technology centered learning approach, which falls under the social constructionism paradigm. It is a form of situated learning [ 2 ] that emphasizes problem-solving within an integrated learning context, which can be examined from multiple perspectives.
