About The Course

Problem Based Learning (PBL) is a state-of-the-art educational approach originally used by medical schools. PBL has emerged as a dynamic and engaging form of learning. This 10-day course is learner focused, built upon the “ill-structured problem” and provides instructors with practical applications of how to engage students in problem solving, critical thinking and team work.

The sessions will consist of full days with group assignments and required evening work. There is also an online pre-course assignment and a field exercise that must be completed prior to the start of the course.
