WBL Protocols is a standard set of tools and processes that are responsive to student and employer needs and reinforces the idea that developing such experiences is both very important and requires real work by professionals who approach their work in a well organized way. This document’s primary aim is to share NRC’s experiences with practitioners in colleges and workforce development organizations who are interested in developing quality WBL programs for their students. It defines not only the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved in the process, but also the elements of quality program planning, implementation, and evaluation. It also illustrates how WBL is executed in the NRC colleges and provides useful tools and templates.
