Abstract

The college lecture dates to the middle ages when only the instructor had access to written material. In the 21st century, the lecturing professor persists but often finds him/herself talking to bored or distracted students. In this paper, an instructor's transition from "covering material" to facilitating learning is described. A summary of research is also presented that affirms the efficacy of problem-based learning (PBL).
