Other Resources

Illinois Mathematics & Science Academy is full of resources for math and science that focus on problem-centered and inquiry-based learning.
The Learning Resource in another resource for more information on PBL.
McMasters University Chemical Engineering department outlines PBL especially in the context of large classes. There is also a video on this site that goes over PBL. It is a video for that department, but it still gives a good overview of PBL.
