• Resumen

  • Recent years have seen an increase in transformations in educational methods towards Problem Based Learning (PBL). In the process of organizational change, staff development remains one of the key elements. This paper presents a pioneer program in staff development based on PBL learning principles, the Masters in Problem Based Learning in Engineering and Science (MPBL) at Aalborg University, Denmark. Drawing on current experiences and reflection, the paper discusses the outcomes as well as the existing challenges in combining a PBL approach with technology-supported on-line delivery as a strategy for staff development in engineering education.
