learning is preferable over that of Group Ushers. Inorder for both instructors and institutions to benefit from these findings, it is important to notonly highlight the benefits of Personal Coaching but also to provide and utilize opportunities forprofessional development that allow faculty to shift away from the Group Usher strategiestowards Personal Coaching. These opportunities should include targeted training in the PjBLpedagogy and workshops on classroom discourse. In addition to helping instructors with theimplementation of PjBL, these workshops may reaffirm the institutional support for PjBL; it hasbeen shown that faculty who perceive educational innovation support at the institutional levelare more motivated and persistent in the use of

U.S. colleges and universities arechallenged to contain and even reduce technology costs, while responding to the expectations ofthe “New Millennial Generation” to upgrade educational systems. One promising idea is to focuson developing and testing innovative models for facilitating collaboration among highereducation institutions, particularly given the limited resources available to many institutions.This is particularly true for many of the more than 3,500 colleges and universities in the UnitedStates that have fewer than 2,000 students and thus cannot afford to make costly, recurringinvestments in expensive labs [8-11].
