Anchored Instruction
Anchored instruction is similar to case-based and problem-solving learning. See this PDF for a full presentation which is found at:

* The problem is based in a story and presented, preferably in video, to students. Videos are preferred so students can replay the video as often as necessary to retrieve the data necessary to solving the problem.
