Educating Information Professionals with Problem based Learning and Collaborative Technology.

Rosenbaum, Howard

Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, v38 p199-208 2001

Problem based learning (PBL) is offered as an example of a problem-focused and student-centered pedagogical approach that foregrounds the curricular imperatives outlined in the KALPIER Report and provides an innovative educational experience for students. A successful implementation of PBL in a graduate level course in e-commerce illustrates benefits and promises of this approach. (Contains 56 references.) (AEF)
