Reply-To: [log in to unmask] -- Dear colleagues On 16/17 January 2001 we are hosting conference on 'Implementing Problem-Based Learning in Higher Education'. Keynote speakers are: Professor Donald Wood (McMaster University, Canada), Professor Charles Engel (Institute for Education, University of London) and Ranald Macdonald (Sheffield Hallam University). The conference will focus on the application of PBL across a spread of disciplines, demonstrate effective strategies for implementation and foster debate on the 'pure' vs 'hybrid' models of implementation. The full programme is available at: http://www.ba.umist.ac.uk/staffdev/pbl/index.htm There are a few days left to submit a paper (deadline is 6th November). With best wishes, Catherine ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Catherine O'Connell, Curriculum Innovation Manager, Teaching and Learning Support Unit, University of Manchester, John Owens Building, Oxford Rd, Manchester M13 9PL, UK Phone: 0161-275-3399 Fax: 0161-275-2872 http://www.man.ac.uk/EHE/ --- End Forwarded Message --- ---------------------- Chris Mitchell, Economics LTSN Institute for Learning and Research Technology University of Bristol, 8-10 Berkeley Square, Bristol, BS8 1HH http://www.economics.ltsn.ac.uk %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
