How can I use PBL to increase students research skills and their use of various resources?
Suggestion: A very good strategy to emphasize one the core skills (accessing valid information) is to review where students got their information, what resources were used and why, and ask for a short critique of all sources they accessed. Even junk sources are helpful in that it can help students with their critical appraisal skills. Students should be encouraged to mention sources they found questionable or particularly helpful and pass this information on to other students.
