These two approaches are differentiated by student versus instructor control of learning objectives, resource selection, and evaluation methods (Tanner, Keedy, & Galis, 1995). Barrows (1986) developed a taxonomy that identifies five varieties of PBL-lecture-based cases, case-based lecture, modified case-based, problem-based, and closed-loop problem based.…”
