In this issue's first Commentary, George Watson of the University of Delaware tells how technology can enhance problem-based learning (PBL). Using 'real world' problems, students acquire life-long critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and they learn where and how to seek appropriate resources. Watson describes his use of a course Web site, electronic communication among student groups, controlled discussion forums, collaborative space, and whiteboard capabilities to enhance instruction. And it's not just the students who benefit—Watson observes that with the Internet, inspiration for creating a problem can come from international newspapers, available online with breaking stories and local human-interest sidebars. As students gain a deeper understanding of world problems, they develop more creative, comprehensive solutions.
