When and where
January 6-8, 2016 on the University of Delaware campus, Newark, Delaware, USA.
Who should attend
This workshop is for educators interested in learning about problem-based learning, both in its classic form and recent variations. We welcome those new to PBL as well as experienced practitioners. We welcome teachers at all grade levels, graduate students, and faculty and instructional support staff at colleges and universities. We expect off-campus participants will participate the full three days. University of Delaware participants are encouraged to choose individual sessions of the most value.

There are several ways to review the event schedule. View the program in PDF format or browse this site by date or theme from the menu bar above. Or, start with the list of session titles for PBL Classic and PBL New. For best results, participants are expected to remain with their selected track for the duration of the event.
This workshop will demonstrate problem-based learning (PBL) and model ways that PBL can be used effectively in all disciplines, in upper and lower division courses, in public schools or colleges, and in all size classes. We will describe ways to adapt PBL to your teaching situation.
