This book is intended to inform and educate college/university
faculty about how to design, implement and evaluate their own PBL
program in the undergraduate and graduate educational learning
environment. The objective of this 'how to' book is to provide
college/university faculty with ways to establish, use and evaluate
a successful problem based undergraduate or graduate program. There
is an increase in businesses and schools that are using some form
of problem-based learning on a daily basis. By educating
undergraduate and graduate students with this service delivery
model they will be better prepared to enter the work force and
perhaps increase their marketability. This can be used as
professional development to learn how to use PBL in undergraduate
and graduate courses. Also, college faculty can model to their
students how to use PBL in their own classrooms in the future.
Higher education has changed significantly over time. In
particular, traditional face-to-face degrees are being revamped in
a bid to ensure they stay relevant in the 21st century and are now
offered online. The transition for many universities to online
learning has been painful-only exacerbated by the COVID-19
pandemic, forcing many in-person students to join their virtual
peers and professors to learn new technologies and techniques to
educate. Moreover, work has also changed with little doubt as to
the impact of digital communication, remote work, and societal
change on the nature of work itself. There are arguments to be made
for organizations to become more agile, flexible, entrepreneurial,
and creative. As such, work and education are both traversing a
path of immense changes, adapting to global trends and consumer
preferences. The Handbook of Research on Future of Work and
Education: Implications for Curriculum Delivery and Work Design is
a comprehensive reference book that analyzes the realities of
higher education today, strategies that ensure the success of
academic institutions, and factors that lead to student success. In
particular, the book addresses essentials of online learning,
strategies to ensure the success of online degrees and courses,
effective course development practices, key support mechanisms for
students, and ensuring student success in online degree programs.
Furthermore, the book addresses the future of work, preferences of
employees, and how work can be re-designed to create further
employee satisfaction, engagement, and increase productivity. In
particular, the book covers insights that ensure that remote
employees feel valued, included, and are being provided relevant
support to thrive in their roles. Covering topics such as course
development, motivating online learners, and virtual environments,
this text is essential for academicians, faculty, researchers, and
students globally.
