    • A domain-specific modeling language approach to support various forms of online PBL 

      Wang, Disi; Miao, Yongwu; Hoppe, H. Ulrich; Samaka, Mohammed ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2014 , Conference)
      Problem-based learning (PBL) can be organized and conducted in a variety of forms. By adopting a Domain-Specific Modeling Language (DSML) approach we have developed a PBL scripting language, which provides natural concepts ...

    • A flexible system and data model for the representation and management of PBL scripts 

      Wang, Disi; Miao, Yongwu; Hoppe, Ulrich; Samaka, Mohammed ( Asia-Pacific Society for Computers in Education , 2014 , Conference)
      As problem-based learning (PBL) is becoming more and more popular, there is also a growing interest in developing and using technologies in the implementation of PBL. However, teachers may have difficulties to design a ...

    • A model-driven PBL application to support the authoring, delivery, and execution of PBL processes 

      Wang, Disi; Samaka, Mohammed; Miao, Yongwu; Ali, Zeyad; Hoppe , H. Ulrich ( Springer , 2016 , Article)
      As problem-based learning (PBL) is becoming more and more popular, there is also a growing interest in developing and using technologies in the implementation of PBL. However, teachers may have difficulties to design and ...

    • A problem-oriented approach to represent and manage knowledge in PBL 

      Miao, Yongwu; Samaka, Mohammed; Wang, Disi ( Asia-Pacific Society for Computers in Education , 2015 , Conference)
      In traditional subject-based learning knowledge is well-structured and prepared in advance by the teachers before transferring in the form of a lecture presentation. However, the knowledge learned in problem-based learning ...

    • Facilitating Teachers in Developing Online PBL Courses 

      Miao, Yongwu; Samaka, Mohammed; Impagliazzo, John ( IEEE , 2013 , Conference)
      Developing a sound online problem-based learning (PBL) course plan is difficult because teachers need comprehensive PBL and technical knowledge. This paper proposes a model-driven approach to develop a PBL authoring tool ...

    • A Model-driven Approach to the development of a PBL Script Editor 

      Miao, Yongwu; Samaka, Mohammed; Impagliazzo, John; Wang, Ying; Wang, Disi; ... more authors ( Global Chinese Conference on Computers in Education (GCCCE) , 2013 , Article)
      Designing a pedagogically sound and technically executable collaboration script is a highly complex, time-consuming and error-prone task. This paper presents a model-driven approach to enable practitioners to design online ...

    • PLATE workbench: A PBL authoring tool 

      Miao, Yongwu; Samaka, Mohammad; Wang, Disi ( Springer International Publishing , 2014 , Conference)
      For most practitioners it is problematic to design an online or blended problem-based learning (PBL) unit within an increasingly complex learning context. This paper presents the development and application of a PBL authoring ...

    • PLATE-PBL: Development and implementation of a script-based PBL environment in moodle 

      Ali, Zeyad; Wang, Disi; Samaka, Mohammed; Miao, Yongwu ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Conference)
      This paper describes the work involved in developing a script-based PBL environment in Moodle. PLATE-PBL is a Moodle plug-in based entirely on the meta-model of the PBL scripting language. The plug-in dynamically transforms ...

    • Plate: Problem-based Learning Authoring And Transformation Environment 

      Samaka, Mohammed; Miao, Yongwu; Imagliazzo, John; Wang, Disi; Ali, Ziad; ... more authors ( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2014 , Conference)
      The project entitled Problem-based Learning Authoring and Transformation Environment (PLATE) is housed at Qatar University. It is under the auspices of the Qatar National Priority Research Program (NPRP). The PLATE project ...

    • Support peer assessment processes in online problem-based learning 

      Samaka, Mohammed; Miao, Yongwu; Wang, Disi ( IEEE Computer Society , 2016 , Conference)
      Problem Based Learning (PBL) is proposed as one of the most well-known alternatives to traditional lectures in modeling engineering graduates to become independent workers, critical thinkers, problem solver, lifelong ...

    • Towards pedagogy-driven learning design: A case study of problem-based learning design 

      Miao, Yongwu; Ally, Mohamed; Samaka, Mohammed; Tsinakos, Avgoustos A. ( Springer Verlag , 2014 , Conference)
      Existing learning design languages are pedagogy-neutral. They provide insufficient support to explicitly represent pedagogy-specific approaches such as problem-based learning (PBL). As the first step towards pedagogy-driven ...

    • Using a PBL authoring tool to train teachers in designing an online PBL unit 

      Miao, Yongwu; Samaka, Mohammed; Wang, Disi; Ali, Zeyad; Romanowski, Michael H. ( Asia-Pacific Society for Computers in Education , 2014 , Conference)
      Problem-based learning (PBL) is proposed as one of the most well-known alternatives to subject-based learning in educating graduates to become independent workers, critical thinkers, problem solvers, lifelong learners, and ...
