Gliederung
Text
There are several issues threatening the effectiveness and efficiency of Problem Based Learning:
- Deterioration of senior students’ active stance towards PBL activities due to a lack of appealing authentic case material from professional practice and insufficient opportunities for students to engage with materials in a structured and reflective manner.
- Large student numbers can impede the optimal use of small-scale education formats by inhibiting the combined use of different work formats (individual, pairs, subgroups etc.) within one educational session as well as their flexible application in response to individual and group performances.
In a collaborative effort, Maastricht and Heidelberg have extended the CAMPUS authoring tool for virtual patients with new ways of integrating video, animation and assessment technologies. This new tool allows cases to be developed that present problems in a short digital video or animation, in which questions are embedded. While group work remains a face-to-face event, student responses take place in a web-based environment enabling logging of student activities. Real-time processing of student responses allows on-the-fly planning of follow-up learning activities based on the performances of subgroups and individuals.
Examples of cases and the results of a student evaluation will be presented at the GMA conference [1], [2], [3], [4].
