| 1965 Room | 2A | Deanna Sellnow | Strategies for Integrating Problem-based Learning Successfully in YOUR courses In this practical, hands-on session, you will work collaboratively with Dr. Sellnow to develop problem-based learning exercises for your course(s). More specifically, you will (a) identify a course you believe might benefit from a PBL approach or application and then (b) develop specific assignments and (c) assessment strategies. You will leave the session with a PBL plan drafted that you can implement during the Fall 2009 term. Be sure to bring a syllabus for a course you’d like to transform with you to this session. |
