Problem-Based Learning 2019

When and where
January 9-11, 2019 on the University of Delaware campus, Newark, Delaware, USA.

Workshop program (PDF file)

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 faculty, graduate students, and instructional support staff in higher education. For best results, participants are expected to remain in the program 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 across higher education and in all size classes. We will describe ways to adapt PBL to your teaching situation.

“It was overwhelming and I learned so much. It was renewing in general. It was excellent and I have been to a lot of workshops. Thank you, more than you know.” —PBL@UD participant

“I appreciated how the facilitators kept things on track and on time, while still allowing for questions, participant feedback, and sharing of ideas. And the PBL Clearinghouse is very exciting.” —PBL@UD participant
