Perspectives on using multimedia scenarios in a PBL medical curriculum.

Unlabelled: In 1999, the Faculty of Health Sciences at Linköping University, Sweden, started up a process of replacing text-based problem-based learning (PBL) scenarios with web-based multimedia-enhanced scenarios. This article brings together three studies of the results of this process and the experience gained from 10 years of implementation work.

Results And Conclusions: Adding multimedia to PBL scenarios makes them more realistic and thereby more motivating and stimulating for the student to process.

[The EDIT project. Problem-based learning on the web challenges students' thinking].

EDIT is short for Educational Development using Information Technology. The EDIT project was initiated by the Faculty of Health Sciences at Linköping University. The aim was to develop web-based scenarios for problem-based learning (PBL).
