Problem Tutorials

Problem-based learning, like the process of problem solving itself, is best understood by actually experiencing it. To this end, we have prepared two situations through which we hope to give you a more complete understanding of the "feel" of problem-based learning, as well as a practical understanding of how the process of PBL unfolds.

You'll travel along a problem-based learning highway with side roads that will connect you to other pages on the site, as well as guideposts to highlight your steps along the way.
