Description
Summary:This paper describes the initial stages of designing and developing Problem-Base Learning (PBL) in engineering education via asynchronous collaborative learning (ACL) at Open University Malaysia (OUM). PBL development is aim at developing total integrated approach to the learning system to induce active self- managed learning and online forum participation among learners. PBL approach is vital for open universities as self-managed learning dominate the learning mode. This paper will elaborate on the OUM learning system in teaching engineering education and suggest new approach of designing the curriculum based on PBL to encourage student-centred learning through ACL via Learning Management System (myLMS) platform of OUM.
