Blended learning and interactive pedagogies: supporting problem-based learning in Dental Education

Main Theme: e-Learning Design and Designs for LearningPanel Presentation: Designing e-Learning in Higher EducationThe aim of this project is to enhance the current problem-based learning (PBL) approach at the Faculty of Dentistry with a focus on technologically enhancing classroom-level interactions. In doing this, the project aims to move from the current model of asynchronous interaction for problem resourcing towards synchronous interaction incorporated into the face-to-face tutorials. That is, to move the Faculty forward from a 'digital repository' approach where student engagement with the available technology IS out-of-step with the knowledge co-construction process during tutorials towards an interactive approach for resourcing problem scenarios linked to current Web2.0 trends
