Online delivery of a subject in a problem based learning environment: a case study on the introduction of a subject website for an undergraduate construction management degree program

The emerging paradigm for the delivery of courses and subjects in tertiary education is online. The Building programme in tne Scnool of Architecture and Built Environment at the University of Newcastle is committed to the innovative delivery of constuction management education using integrated problem based learning and emerging technologies. The case study presented in this paper follows how a website was designed and integrated into a course. The survey of students showed that there was general acceptance of the concept. The case study ends by identifying key strengths and weaknesses of the website, how it has been modified to suit the new platform Blackboard and future directions.
