In this post, I give some detail of the Context Based Learning symposium from the recent International Conference on Chemical Education (ICCE).

Context based learning (CBL) is a popular method of teaching and it was no surprise to see that a symposium with three sessions was dedicated to this approach at the recent International Conference on Chemical Education meeting (ICCE). This symposium was organised by Peter Mahaffy and Ilka Parchmann, both of whom have done tremendous work in the area of context based learning.

Michael Seery reports on the Context Based Learning symposium.
