[Top of Page] Project L.I.V.E. is a series of digital video cases used in Problem-Based Learning (PBL) groups. These multimedia cases are in DVD (full screen) format for face-to-face groups but can also be used with "virtual" groups that conduct asynchronous discussions between learners at multiple sites and a faculty mentor. The cases simulate a real encounter by using digital video rather than text, forcing the learner to glean the information from the patient encounter and develop the visual recognition skills that are important in medicine. The Project L.I.V.E. team won the University of Colorado's 2005 President's Faculty Excellence Award for Advancing Teaching and Learning through Technology. For more information about Project L.I.V.E. visit their website at mama.uchsc.edu/pub/live/intro_pub.htm.
