This website has been created to inform nurse educators of two learning opportunities offered through the Institute for Nurse Educators, a continuing education initiative created to promote the adaptation of Problem-based Learning (PBL) in undergraduate nursing curricula. The first learning opportunity is a four-week workshop and seminar series that focuses on developing a basic understanding of PBL such as exploring the underlying tenets of PBL and addresses issues related to adaptation of this approach to teaching and learning. This year the four week PBL workshop and seminar series runs from Monday July 28th-Aug 22nd 2003. The second, a sabbatical option, offers in-depth mentoring by experienced McMaster faculty and is available to educators who have a basic understanding of PBL. In addition to the two educational opportunities this website provides you with many useful resources related to PBL and nursing education. We have compiled a number of hyperlinks to websites and databases related to PBL, clinical nursing and nursing education as well as identified some texts you may find helpful when considering PBL, educational change and curriculum design. We are also constructing a PBL News & Resources section where we will post upcoming events, items of interest and Tips for Tutors. On the Tips’ page you are invited to comment on your successes and challenges with PBL and ask questions about strategies for implementation. Educators who are interested in pursuing PBL as an area of study can browse through our detailed information related to the educational options. View our list of contributors; former participants and McMaster faculty and explore many possibilities for additional travel, sightseeing and accommodations. This information is available on our Accommodation and Tourism page with links to many sights of interest. Our Mission
