Problem-based Case Learning (PBCL) is an effective practice for producing changes in teaching strategies and subsequent redesign of courses into integrated, assessment-driven, learning experiences set in a business context. PBCL is based on yet unsolved problematic local industry situations that require learners to build on their knowledge, engage the situation to build a depth of competence, and reflect on their own thinking and process. The approach facilitates development of complex communication, expert thinking essential in a global economy and advancement in adaptive expertise. Over 400 faculty from participating ATE projects have adopted PBCL resulting in improved student learning and professional development of faculty. Building on what was learned in previous NSF-funded projects and the ideas and input of John Bransford at the LIFE Center at the University of Washington, Nashville State Technical College in partnership with WGBH, produces and disseminates video, web-based and print resources for professional development of faculty and for use in classrooms. Training teams of experienced practitioners are established at Nashville State Community College and the Midwest Center for Information Technology in Nebraska to extend the effectiveness of PBCL by making the fundamental principles more easily accessible to a wider audience of practitioners. The effect of the instruction on student performance and employer satisfaction is measured. The project also evaluates the changes in colleges due to the development of a community of PBCL practitioners.

基于问题的案例学习 (PBCL) 是一种有效的实践，可以改变教学策略，并随后将课程重新设计为商业环境中集成的、评估驱动的学习体验。 PBCL 基于尚未解决的当地行业情况，要求学习者以自己的知识为基础，参与情况以建立深度的能力，并反思自己的思维和过程。 该方法有助于发展复杂的沟通、全球经济中必不可少的专家思维以及适应性专业知识的进步。 参与 ATE 项目的 400 多名教师已采用 PBCL，从而改善了学生的学习和教师的专业发展。 基于之前 NSF 资助的项目中学到的知识以及华盛顿大学 LIFE 中心 John Brandsford 的想法和意见，纳什维尔州立技术学院与 WGBH 合作，制作和传播视频、网络和印刷资源，以促进教师的专业发展和在课堂上使用。 纳什维尔州立社区学院和内布拉斯加州中西部信息技术中心成立了由经验丰富的从业人员组成的培训团队，通过让更广泛的从业人员更容易地了解基本原理来扩大 PBCL 的有效性。 衡量教学对学生表现和雇主满意度的影响。 该项目还评估了由于 PBCL 从业者社区的发展而导致的大学变化。
