PBL at UBC - Who's Using It?

November 2001 (pdf). A summary of PBL status at UBC with input from Faculties of Dentistry, Land and Food Systems, Medicine, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Science.

PBL Feedback Process at UBC - Its Procedures and Effectiveness

November 2004 (pdf). One day, a PBL Network member came to us and asked about the effectiveness of the feedback component in PBL. We later realized that the feedback component of PBL has received little attention and different people used feedback differently. We decided to interview members of the UBC PBL Network to find out differences among different PBL instructors.
