    Applications for Education Unfortunately, the videos in Science Magazine's Video Portal don't have embed codes for placing them in your blog or website so you will have to just link to them.

PBL was first introduced in the late 1960s at McMaster University in North America, and has since spread around the world mainly in medical education.
