Abstract

Problembased learning is one of the most exciting and powerful educational options that has appeared in the last 30 years. One important issue in PBL is access to make students responsible for there own learning and further use information and appropriate technology may it be computers or any other required modality for their best usage. Likewise the learning space must facilitate collaborative work. At present, most universities do not have suitable spaces for PBL.
