PBL is a form of inductive teaching that introduces students to realistic, open-ended problems and uses those problems to drive the desired course content and theory. Research shows that PBL is more effective than traditional teaching for a broad range of educational outcomes. Join Dr. Michael Prince in this workshop as he shares how using PBL as an interactive teaching method can increase student engagement and learning.
