Computerised problem-based scenarios in practice-a decade of DIAGNOSIS

The paper discusses aspects of problem-based scenarios (PBS) for teaching based on experiences with a computer package called DIAGNOSIS. This package has been used for teaching the diagnosis of plant pests and disease problems for a decade. The software is described, and its evolution in response to changing demands and software platforms is also covered.
