Abstract
This article describes a multimedia problem-based learning (PBL) CD-ROM designed to teach educators about the 1997 Individuals with Disabilities Education Act discipline guidelines. The Disabilities and School Discipline module has three phases: the narrative introduces educators to the educational problem; the role strands require educators to assume one of 8 roles and is an interactive simulation of the manifestation determination process that requires educators to conduct a functional assessment; in the problem resolution phase, educators compare their solution to the problem to that of professionals. Implications of using multimedia PBL technology in special education teacher preparation courses are discussed.
