چکیده
Problem-based learning (PBL) was used as the instructional design basis for a TAFE unit of competency developed for online delivery. The courseware was commissioned to provide online content for users of the Victorian TAFE Virtual Campus. The aim of the project was to provide courseware that would develop competency in the course topic ‘Soil Characteristics and Survey Techniques’ and also develop generic skills in communication and collaboration. This article provides a theoretical basis for the application of PBL to instructional design, and a case study of the development and a trial application of the project.

متن کاملOperation Sequencing Optimization in CAPP Using Hybrid Teaching-Learning Based Optimization (HTLBO)
Computer-aided process planning (CAPP) is an essential component in linking computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Operation sequencing in CAPP is an essential activity. Each sequence of production operations which is produced in a process plan cannot be the best possible sequence every time in a changing production environment. As the complexity of the product incr...
