摘要：
In this paper, a new way of teaching critical thinking and problem solving skills is presented. WebCT Vista - one of the most popular online education tools - is used as the essential platform. Instead of being taught as abstract concepts, problem-solving techniques like logical deductions, generalizations, and analytical reasoning, etc, are delivered to the students via mind-bending puzzles and games. Course materials are very carefully selected such that each of them is real-life centered and produces a deeper understanding of content while offering weapons to tackle with additional situations. All these features collectively make the course unique, efficient, and successful, based on the student feedbacks.
