| Year 1: Funding Year | 2000/2001 |
| Year 1: Project Type | Small TLEF |
| Year 1: Principal Investigator | Maureen Garland |

| Year 1: Summary | The proposal establishes programs to prepare and support instructors and students who engage in Problem-Based Learning (PBL). In response to Faculty of Agricultural Sciences’ (FAS) implementation of a problem-based curriculum, and the broader University interest in PBL, this project will enhance skills in developing and implementing PBL, and provide learning resource support for these endeavours. Specifically, the project includes:
The project responds directly to FAS’s needs related to adoption of PBL, while also addressing the stated needs of other Faculties who have been using PBL, and emerging needs and interest in other Faculties and units concerning PBL. The project is a FAS, Centre for Teaching and Academic Growth (TAG) and MacMillan Library partnership that fosters collaboration in developing PBL skills over the broader University community. It links those with established PBL programs, a beginner PBL, and others who are just considering this pedagogical approach. In this, FAS benefits from the experience and participation of campus colleagues and others in these events, while the project itself provides connections and opportunities across the University, and a model for future collaboration with other Faculties and the University Library as a whole. |
| Year 2: Project Title | Continued Development and Implementation of Problem-Based Learning Tools and Approaches: Building Upon Our Year One Successes |
| Year 2: Project Year | Year 2 |
| Year 2: Funding Year | 2001/2002 |
| Year 2: Project Type | Small TLEF |
| Year 2: Principal Investigator | Maureen Garland |

| Year 2: Summary | The proposal builds on current programs to prepare and support instructors and students who engage in Problem-Based Learning (PBL). It strengthens and extends the current TLEF-funded initiatives that are supporting the implementation of PBL in the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences (FAS) and responds to strong campus-wide demand for PBL training and support. This broadened project will enhance skills in developing and implementing PBL, while providing learning resources and other student support. It includes:
This project is a FAS, TAG, and MacMillan Library partnership that includes collaboration with Pharmaceutical Sciences, Medicine and others in developing and honing PBL skills over the broader University community. It links those with established PBL programs, FAS, and others considering this technique. In last year's proposal, we stated that this would provide a model for future collaboration with other faculties and the University Library. This has proven so. Our current project builds on these successes. |
