Annotated Bibliography
Foundations of Problem-Based Learning (Savin-Baden & Major, 2004)
This book represents one of the first attempts to compile a comprehensive text that introduces problem-based learning. Problem-based learning can be thought of as a pedagogy that is focused on providing students open-ended problems to solve. This methodology first appeared in medical schools and has since been applied to many disciplines and the academic process in general. This approach became popular in the 1960s and has increased in popularity since that time.
The approach is considered an active learning style in which students tackle problems in which they lead their own educational efforts. The instructor is considered more of a guide or a facilitator than someone who teaches in a more authoritarian position. The format is more project based and represents a shift from the more traditional lecture-based environment.

In regard to institutional challenges, universities have been victims of their own success in a sense. For example, by expanding access to higher education, universities now have to produce instruction on much larger scales with growing student bodies. This book outlines how many of the specific challenges have developed in this realm as well as recommends some solutions to try to overcome the challenges that will face educational systems in future generations.
Creating Significant Learning Experiences: An Integrated Approach to Designing College Courses (Fink, 2013)
This is another book that is deeply rooted in the concept of problem-based learning. However, this book takes a more pragmatic approach to providing insights into how educators might apply these principles in practice, rather than focusing more on the theoretical underpinnings. This book provides many specific examples of such strategies and even provides countless illustrations to further drive home examples; as such this book can be considered significantly more practical than others in regard to the actual implementation of problem-based learning.

PBL vs. Traditional Two of the methods of pedagogy that are currently employed in respiratory therapy are Problem-Based Learning and Traditional Teaching.

Brain-Based Learning Theory Learning does not only bring enlightenment to the weary souls but it also helps us learn, grow and be what we are potentially able to become. Therefore education plays a vital role in inculcating a sense of responsibility in children and to assist them in learning other highly important social skills. Thus through adequate instructional framework and effective and logical application of the learning theories, both educators and
Hyperlinked tables of contents and indexes are tremendous time-savers as well as navigational aides. The non-linear presentation of digital texts appeals to learners adept at spatial relations, or those who appreciate metaphors. Hypertext allows learners to create and understand conceptual links between current course material and new or prior knowledge. The multimedia presentation of digital text appeals to learners who rely on multiple senses including sight and hearing. Many students
