title: Television stars--counselling of PBL (Problem Based Learning) groups through videoconferencing in a distance learning based nursing bachelor programme.
abstract: This paper addresses the use of videoconferencing in PBL (Problem Based Learning) counselling in a nursing bachelor programme. How suitable is the use of videoconferencing in counselling? Preparations for the use of videoconferencing are described. The paper is based on a study in which both qualitative and quantitative methods have been used. Results from the study are presented and discussed. To claim any degree of objectivity in this matter would be rather ambitious, but we maintain that our paper could pinpoint some of the critical issues that should be met in the planning and the management of videoconferencing when used in counselling. The study shows that videoconferencing is well suited for counselling of PBL groups.
