I have tried two techniques that are interactive. An information scavenger hunt included scrambled words, quotations and cartoons as clues. It was 50% fun and 50% real information. My personality fits with this approach but it takes some time to get humourous items that fit with the learning objectives. The other method involved case scenarios and semi-directive (find the item that best fits) flow charts. This approach lends itself to the EBP or variant of information gathering. I also like the "sink or swim" approach, but the students are not as fond of this approach compared to the others e.g. find ten English-language references pertaining to exercise for the total knee replacement patient and list 5 clinically relevant findings.
