Ways to learn PBL

There are a number of schools that practice PBL. Historically, PBL was first introduced in medical schools. However, the need to prepare students for real world problems, which are rarely well defined and neatly solved, and the belief that PBL can address this need has inspired changes in the curricula of disciplines such as the life sciences, teacher education, and others.

The following is a list of some of the schools that have committed to integrating PBL in their curriculum. More and more schools, including Stanford University, are moving in this direction.
