Effective strategies for integrating e-learning in problem-based learning for engineering and technical education
E-learning, through any Learning Management Systems (LMS), can be used to enhance and aid the implementation ofproblem-based learning (PBL). In UTM, an open-source LMS, Moodle, is being used. Through e-learning, learningcan take place anywhere and anytime through the communicationtools that it has....

E-learning, through any Learning Management Systems (LMS), can be used to enhance and aid the implementation ofproblem-based learning (PBL). In UTM, an open-source LMS, Moodle, is being used. Through e-learning, learningcan take place anywhere and anytime through the communicationtools that it has. This feature provides a channel ofcommunication among students and lecturers that is not bounded by the class time and physical presence. Therefore, e-learning has been identified as a learning system that can greatly enhance the implementation of PBL among universitystudents. The purpose of this paper is to put forth effective strategies for utilizing e-learning in PBL for engineering andtechnical education.
