Facilitating Problem-Based Learning

An exploration of a broad range of issues relating to facilitation. It investigates understandings of facilitation; ways of equipping and supporting staff in terrestrial and virtual contexts; and ways of designing problem-based curricula that enhance learning.

This book has resulted from a number of challenges and concerns that have
emerged from both being a facilitator on various problem—based learning
programmes and equipping other tutors to become facilitators. As a lecturer and
researcher in higher education and as a consultant to those wishing to implement
problem-based learning, I have developed a range of strategies, practices and
perspectives about what appears to help and hinder the facilitation of
problembased learning.
