Guanajuato, Gto., June 8, 2017.-  Within the framework of the agreement between the High School College (CNMS) of the University of Guanajuato (UG) and Mesa Community College (MCC) with the Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) it was held the workshop called "Problem based learning and flipped classroom".

It was held for two days in the facilities of HS Guanajuato given by the three MCC professors Jennifer Strickland, Megan Garvy and Madeleine Chowdhury in which 24 high school professors participated.

The main objective of the workshop was to find innovative ways to carry out activities in the classroom including the use of technological platforms and problem based learning, as well as the use of English, since the entire course was given in English.

Likewise, on June 8th, there will be one more session with the purpose to train 5 professors as trainers in Problem Based Learning and Flipped Classroom so at the same time they replicate this training at the high schools.

This is the second year in which the collaboration between the Center for Teaching and Learning of MCC and the CNMS occurs for training professors and the collaborative work between both institutions.

It is important to mention that the previous year, a group of 11 MCC professors visited UG and had a workshop with 35 high school professors and then eight of those professors visited MCC to share their experiences applying what they learned in the course.
