A short overview ofIBL will provide context for the current work.IBL has evolved out of Project-Based, Discovery-Based, and Experiential Learning. Innovation-Based Learning can be understood through Daniel Pink’s framework of Autonomy, Mastery, andPurpose [1]. Autonomy is most visible at the beginning of each semester as students enjoy boththe freedom and responsibility to propose a project and then self-assemble a working group [2].Purpose, which we often speak of as “external value” or “external impact” is emphasized in twoimportant ways during the course. First, as the course begins, potential projects must address asocietal gap/need; students must identify a

For many disciplines, the interaction among students required fordiscussion or peer review of written work can be handled in courses through discussion boards,chat sessions, team conferences, and written assignments. Furthermore, for some courses,simulations and case studies can replace active learning sessions.[1] However, even with theadvances in online education, the challenges of most laboratory courses required on-sitelaboratory experiences because of the need for physical hardware and resources.
