Location: EV1 241 Notes: Open to faculty (registration is required)
A review of the literature reveals that Problem-Based Learning (PBL) lacks an accepted definition. In this session, we will focus on Closed-Loop Problem-Based Learning (CL PBL) defining what it is and what it isn’t, how it differs from case-based learning, detail resources required to support closed-loop PBL and consider ways to move towards integrating closed-loop case-based learning into courses and ultimately a program.
During the session, three instructors with varying degrees of experience using closed-loop PBL will share their experience and expertise with us. Jeff Nagge will share his many years’ experience with CL PBL ranging from participation in PBL as a student to integrating CL PBL in his pharmacy course. Oscar Nespoli will review his use of Case-Based Learning and his reasons for moving more towards CL PBL. To wrap up the session, Steve Balaban and Scott Anderson will tell us about their first experience integrating CL PBL into a course this past term.
Facilitators: Jeff Nagge (School of Pharmacy), Oscar Nespoli (Mechanical & Mechatronics Engineering), Steve Balaban (School of Accounting and Finance), Scott Anderson (CTE) and Katherine Lithgow (CTE)
