Abstract

For working adults who make the commitment to lifelong learning, what is learned must be transferable to the working environment. This session will present a progress report on a research study to assess the extent to which a custom-developed Web-based Problem-based Learning (PBL) application enhances the transfer of problem-solving skills in the Study Group Project component of a 5-week Internet-based course in business research methods for the University of Phoenix Online Campus. Session attendees will see a demonstration of the PBL application prototype, along with the research design, analytical approach, and results to date. The session will also demonstrate the value of Action Research to improve teaching practice and lay the foundation for further research on the effectiveness of PBL in totally online, asynchronous learning environments.
