Education.
I am not an expert in this topic and offer this as some help to working out answers if you get a question on teaching methods, which has happened. If you are an expert and can help to improve what follows, that will be much appreciated.
If you get a question in the exam, please try to remember as much as possible, particularly the option list and send it to me.
There is often a variety of different techniques that could be used. I would guess that the exam committee will take care to restrict the option list so that it is clear which is the best option.
Lead-in.
The following scenarios relate to medical education
Pick one option from the option list.
Each option can be used once, more than once or not at all.
Abbreviations.
EMQ:    extended, matching question.
PBL:       problem-based learning.

Scenario 2.
You have been asked to provide a summary of the key aspects of the recent Maternal Mortality Meeting to the annual GP refresher course. There are likely to be 100 attendees. Which would be the most appropriate approach?
