Participants will have the opportunity to work through a complex problem, exploring a variety of instructional methods to use when adopting problem-based instruction in large undergraduate courses. In addition to problem-based learning, other active learning techniques that will be demonstrated include "think-pair-share," structured group discussion, jig-saw discussions, and group debates.
