Abstract
We discuss the implementation of a problem-based course supporting a new Civil
and Infrastructure program of study at RMIT. Based on the set learning
objectives we describe the framework of study implemented and illustrate these
with two of the major components of the course: hand-written practice-class
exercises and formative WebLearn testing that provides both generic and targetted
feedback to support student learning. Course evaluation is discussed from both
the students' and the program teams point of view.
