Resumen
An innovative instructional system called VEBA (Virtual Experience-Based Approach) is a type of experiential learning system designed and developed for studentcentered teaching and learning process via eLearning for eLearning graduate students, both Master and Doctoral degrees, at the College of Internet Distance Education, Assumption University. VEBA makes use of Project Casework Approach (PCW) to create VEBA packages comprising a virtual scenario, technical and academic information, rules and regulations, and seminar manuals. In the seminar, graduate students study the provided virtual scenario and perform the assigned tasks along seven steps: (1) Analyze the situation by studying the provided virtual scenario created in advance to render real life experiences to graduate students based on the Project Casework Approach (PCW); (2) Set objectives of what they are assigned to accomplish, i.e. one of the eight competencies illustrated above, such as Develop an education system or an HRD system; (3) Determine two-three alternatives or options toward accomplishing the assignment; (4) Compare the alternatives or options using relevant techniques such as SWOT, Costs, Return on Investment (ROI), Break Even Point (BEP), Payback Period, and cash flows; (5) Select and justify the best alternative or option; (6) Write the action plan in the form of the Project with details as set forth in the objectives; and Step (7)Implement and evaluate the Project. However, in order to use VEBA, a set of VEBA-PCW packages needs to be developed along eight logical steps for VEBA packages production.
