This is an experiential activity. With very little preparation, you will be thrown
into a problem about which you have little or no prior knowledge. We'll use this
experience to give you a sense of what PBL will be like for your own learners.
At several intervals during the exercise, you'll be asked to record your thoughts
and feelings. We'll use this as input later as we discuss ways to optimize
PBL for different types of learners.
You'll be divided into teams of 5 or 6 with each team assigned to one of the
following problems:
Team A - Mississippi Fats
Team B - Sharia in the UK
Team C - Marines out of Berkeley
After reading the article that goes with your team, log into our
Wikispace to begin the PBL process.
After we've spent several hours on the exercise, we'll debrief it and formalize
it with a presentation about the 7 stages of PBL.
