Is EBL problematic

• Is it possible to use PBL and e-learning
  together?
• Individual and group participation?
• How do we ensure that students meet the learning
  outcomes?
• How should we assess?
• Can we assess the on-line work?
• How do we judge the worth of the programme?
• Will this affect practice?
• How do we measure a change in practice?
• Less is more?
