The course instructor pointed tothe value of suggested getting help from experienced PBL developers. “I think to get into thisyou really need to not only have a concept of what you want to do but then get help fromsomeone who’s built these sort of websites before. I think there’s just too much of a learningcurve for a faculty member to do it on their own.” The instructor was surprised at the amount oftime it took to develop the PBL. He

Simultaneously, it is also useful in ensuring that the product staysahead of any competition that may exist or might crop up in the future. .In order to use the QFD systematically, one needs to adopt a four step approach to curriculumdesign which is detailed as follows.1.
