Problem-based Learning is an established learner-centred pedagogical approach for developing skills and competencies. This paper presents the evolutionary development of a Massive Open Online Course, titled "Design for the Real World: A Problem-based Learning Approach", with the aim to empower learners to independently pursue problem-based inquiry using design methods and tools, thereby fostering creativity and life-long learning.
