“PBL is fun, it seens to simulate the type of decision making I observed in multi-disciplinary team meetings”

First 6 cases delivered

The first 6 cases have successfully been delivered to the first stream of students. Initial feedback has shown that students enjoy the case, they discuss before and after the options are shown. The use of the wiki’s is greater than anticipated where students use it to share learning objectives and other useful information about the case with each other.
