Overview
Two major educational developments have gained significant momentum in recent years: the adoption of problem-based learning (PBL) as an educational innovation and the use of web technologies to support learning. In this volume, leading practitioners and researchers worldwide consider the limitless possibilities of ePBL. They provide a wealth of ideas, models, and examples related to the design, implementation, and evaluation of ePBL.
Key features include the first internationally collaborated volume on PBL and e-learning.
Key topics include:
Using and designing problems for various e-learning environments
Examples of cyberspace innovations
Evaluation of web-supported designs
Video games for promoting learning
Internet-based PBL for collaborative learning
Scaffolding and knowledge construction in ePBL
Technology mediation of learning
Challenging issues and breakthroughs
Clear illustrations of ePBL applications in a range of e-environments and web platforms
