Barry, Dana M.; Kanematsu, Hideyuki; Fukumura, Yoshimi – Online Submission, 2010
Problem Based Learning (PBL) is a powerful tool for both science and engineering education in the real world. Therefore, Japanese educators/researchers (with assistance from a US educator) carried out a pilot study to determine the effectiveness of using PBL activities in Metaverse. Their project was carried out by student teams from the US and…

Tomkinson, Bland; Engel, Charles; Tomkinson, Rosemary – Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, 2009
The world faces a number of complex challenges that are sometimes referred to as "wicked problems." Universities have been relatively poor at preparing graduates for such challenges, yet it will be the future professionals who need to tackle the problems. This essay looks at two related projects that have attempted to advance the skills…
