Problem-based Learning

One proven model of learning that is quite promising for technologically based systems is problem-based learning. It's bee used for teaching diagnosis, design, policy development, and other typically difficult subjects to teach authentically.

A good source of reading on the subject is the Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, a free online journal dedicated to scholarly research in the area of problem-based learning (what a surprise *grins*). 

If you're new to the idea of problem-based learning, I suggest you start with an overview article. Read as much or little as you like. I enjoyed the 3C3R article for it's model on how to think about the many sides of successful PBL implementation.

If you're exploring problem-based learning, especially online, please post a comment and link.
