Abstract

Objective: To assess the integration of problem-based learning and technology into a self-care course.

Design: Problem-based learning (PBL) activities were developed and implemented in place of lectures in a self-care course. Students used technology, such as computer-generated virtual patients and iPads, during the PBL sessions.

Assessments: Students' scores on post-case quizzes were higher than on pre-case quizzes used to assess baseline knowledge. Student satisfaction with problem-based learning and the use of technology in the course remained consistent throughout the semester.

Conclusion: Integrating problem-based learning and technology into a self-care course enabled students to become active learners.
