Abstract
This chapter reports on the development of a virtual learning community with a diverse group of engineering and surveying students, studying through problem-based learning (PBL) activities conducted in the distance mode. The students became active participants in the learning process through reflective thought and dialogue with others. These are critical to transformative learning and the social construction of knowledge.
