xLOBs are led by the Education Transformation Unit (a.k.a. the Learning Innovation). 

CCE is an innovation hub that is constantly investigating local development needs, exploring local and global trends, researching them and developing or adapting solutions suited to the local context. 

The Unit for Learning Innovation consists of a research team from Birzeit University that has established an educational initiative that integrates learning materials, teacher professional development, and technology in multiple educational setting to create new learning paradigms suitable to the current and future learning needs of our children and youth.  The initiative’s backbone is a repository of locally produced Experiential Leaning Objects (xLOBs) that integrate subject knowledge with life skills and citizenship education and directly interface with national curricula. 

The extensive experience of the Unit in planning, designing, developing, implementing, scaling and assessing LOBs for a wide range of age groups and educational settings qualifies them to fill the gaps in other grades and extend work to earlier grades (eg. pre-school) and to scale the work locally and extend it to other countries in the region with minimal adjustments.
