| PBLD Forum
Added at Annual Meeting |
The popularity of the Problem-Based Learning Discussion (PBLD)
program continues to grow with each Annual Meeting. This year,
we have had more than 200 submissions from new and repeat discussion
presenters.
The Committee on Problem-Based Learning Discussions has scheduled
an open forum for PBLD case writing on Monday, October 14, from
9 a.m. to 10 a.m. in Room 315B at the Orange County Convention
Center, Orlando, Florida. Members of the committee will be available
to consult with those who may wish to present a PBLD case discussion
and to discuss the concept of what the PBLD mode of education
entails.
Finally, it has come to our attention that the PBLD index published
in the 2002 Annual Meeting Registration booklet is incorrect.
A revised and correct index is available online with keyword search
capabilities at < www.ASAhq.org/AnnMtg
> and will appear in the Annual Meeting Program that will be distributed
to all members and others in August 2002.
