PBCL: Why It Works
No full textIn this video from Making Learning Real, practitioners and developers of Problem-Based Case Learning (PBCL) explain how the PBCL approach helps students take a hands-on approach to learning and apply their studies to real-world professional scenarios. Because PBCL problems are open-ended, teachers and students must adjust to unexpected situations as students create multiple, equally valid solutions. The PBCL approach includes feedback, reviews, and revisions. This approach brings a meaningful, professional experience into the classroom, such that one PBCL developer says it enables PBCL students to outperform non-PBCL students on job-related problems.The video runs 2:32 and is accompanied by a background essay and discussion questions.

Picturing Science: Museum Scientists and Imaging Technologies
No full textHow do we look into the world of germs? Or anything else for that matter? The dedicated scholars at the American Museum of Natural History have created this fine exhibit to complement an in situ exhibit at their institution. The exhibition was curated by Mark Siddal, in the division of invertebrate zoology. Visitors can browse the images, which were developed using infrared photography, scanning electron microscopes, and CT scanners. The images include a up-close-and-personal image of an Atlantic spotter mackerel, details of the wing structure of an Oriental hornet, and an amazing image of a troika of scorpions. Moving along, the Video Gallery area includes a nice preview of the exhibit which may inspire curious parties to make a special trip to the Museum.
