Application of Problem-Based Learning in Classroom Activities and Multimedia

Problem-based learning (PBL) provides real-world, purposeful interactions to help graduate and undergraduate students learn how to work with and learn from a diverse group of people laterally and horizontally within a learning community. At the same time, information technology in the 21 century provides the opportunity to integrate learner support into PBL learning environments. PBL and technology provide the opportunity for communities to grow and learn together. Various types of activities implementing PBL shape the classroom activities and reform the roles and duties of undergraduates and teachers as well. This paper deals with the opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students of how to learn important critical thinking and problem solving skills and share their knowledge in the 21 century.
