Abstract

Problem-based learning (PBL) is an educational approach whereby students learn course content by actively and collaboratively solving real-world problems presented in a context similar to that in which the learning is to be applied. In this paper we describe the evolution of the development of the challenges and we provide instructions on creating a challenge and using it in the classroom to enhance student learning. The collaborative learning practices provided the opportunity to not only give and receive knowledge among the participants but also view this exchange as a responsibility to create a collaborative culture within the university.
