  2. Institute for Transforming Undergraduate Education Created in 1997 to promote reform of undergraduate education through faculty development and course redesign. Initially funded by NSF Institution-Wide Reform of Undergraduate Education. ITUE Fellows receive hands-on experience in employing active learning strategies (PBL) and effective use of technology in their classrooms.

  4. Problem-Based Learning: From Ideas to Solutions through Communication January 19-21, 2005 For registration, please visit www.udel.edu/inst/jan2005 This three-day workshop will demonstrate and model ways that PBL can be used effectively in all disciplines, in upper and lower division courses, and in all size classes. One focus of this program will be writing effective problem-based materials; participants will leave the session with new or revised problems for use in their courses. Another focus will be engaging students in research and communication as part of the process of PBL.

  5. PBL Clearinghouse An online database of PBL articles and problems. All material is peer-reviewed by PBL practitioners for content and pedagogy. All problems are supported by learning objectives and resources, teaching and assessment notes. Holdings are searchable by author, discipline, keywords, or full text. Fully electronic submission, review, and publication cycle. Controlled access by free user subscription, students excluded.

  7. PBL Clearinghouse Currently there are ~7000 registered users and 70 PBL problems. Of the problems available, more than half are in physics, chemistry, and biology, but the number in other disciplines is growing steadily. We are very interested in publishing adaptations of problems to other cultural/geographical contexts. www.udel.edu/pblc
