For Problem-Based Case Learning (PBCL), student teams must develop and present solutions to real-world challenges. In this video from Making Learning Real, IT students use PBCL processes and tools to explore a business problem and put forth possible solutions. The instructor serves as a facilitator, supporting students as they create networking plans for a new retail store. While solving this problem, students also develop their teamwork skills.
In Problem-Based Case Learning (PBCL), students develop solutions to real-world problems by following a defined process.
The instructor identifies and presents a real business problem to students. The students then work in teams to define and analyze the problem. They research options, identify challenges, and develop a solution to present to the instructor.
The instructor acts as a facilitator, overseeing but not interfering with the students’ inquiry processes. This forces students to rely more on teamwork, giving them a real-world professional experience.
