Mission of the PBL-site

Problem-based learning (PBL) is one of the main characteristics of Universiteit Maastricht. As a consequence of this educational innovation the university has many contacts with other institutions of higher education both in the Netherlands and abroad. The main objective of this PBL site is to support and to develop these national and international contacts.

To realize this objective this PBL home page collates all kinds of resources about PBL and makes them accessible. These resources can be within Universiteit Maastricht or can reside outside the university. Furthermore, these resources can be quite different in their nature. They may, for example, cover:

• publications
• courses (select course item)
• videos
• educational projects
• contacts
• international networks

The PBL site will also support communication between different institutions by means of links to discussion-lists, other PBL sites and links to other networks or institutions with innovative educational systems. The PBL site is aimed at higher education faculty members who are interested in PBL or have already implemented PBL and want to further develop this educational innovation.
