Title: Problem Based Learning in Distance Education: A Case Study

This study used Problem Based Learning (PBL) in social work courses that were offered through a distance education social work program in which the classes were conducted via audio-conferencing. The study sought to explore the student's experience of problem based learning and to compare it with courses taught using a lecture based teaching model. The research findings will be explored in some depth, with a particular focus on the student's experience of this model of teaching. A brief introduction to Problem Based Learning and its use in distance education will be provided.
