This proposal aims at developing cases and learning tasks related to primary education scenarios in classroom learning; and exploring effective ways of using the new e-learning system Moodle for students’ transformative learning, and seeking ways to build a community among PGDE students and in-service teachers through technology-supported case-based learning and curriculum development. The key innovation is that university teachers are usually the ones who will develop case study materials for their students. We turn around the ownership and invite our PGDE students as well as alumni to develop case-study materials to help make their learning authentic and transformative and to provide possibility for continuing professional development via technology-enhanced learning (Moodle). In order to promote constructive and collaborative learning among pre-service teachers and in-service teachers, a learning environment supported by technology-enhanced learning (Moodle) will be designed for theory-practice integration and continuing professional development. The project represents an innovative way of developing cases for problem-based learning in professional training in technology-enhanced learning environment. It also contributes to the development of the constructive view of education.
