Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is an pedagogical method which incorporates hands-on, active learning centered on the investigation and resolution of difficult, real-world problems. Some of the defining characteristics of PBL includes: 1. A guided learning process with challenging open-ended problems where there are multiple solutions and 2. An environment where students work as self-directed, active investigators and problem-solvers. Here we demonstrate the effectiveness of the Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) in a PBL setting to teaching students about the advantages and limitations of the modeling tools that are used in the forefront of early stage drug design.Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a pedagogical method which incorporates hands-on, active learning centered on the investigation and resolution of difficult, real-world problems.
