Problem

based

learning

In realising the rich learning experiences that can be achieved through the problem

based learning technique, the Programme attempts to embrace the problem based

learning principles wherever possible. It will inculcate in the students a systematic

pursuit of extending knowledge and understanding through literature search and

investigation, applying concepts and skills through thinking and doing, developing

abilities to analyse and evaluate problems, as well as the ability to communicate

effectively.

Elearning

Elearning is basically an online communication between lecturers and students.

Lecturers will download their lecture materials into the elearning modules where

students can access them online. Students cancommunicate with the lecturers and

obtaincourse
