Problem-based learning (PBL) has long been recognized as a powerful pedagogical approach in physics education, fostering critical thinking, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving skills among students. With the advent of online learning, the integration of PBL into virtual environments presents exciting opportunities to transform physics education across various contexts. This chapter explores the multifaceted landscape of online problem-based learning (OPBL) in physics education, examining its applications in higher education courses, professional development, lifelong learning, and interdisciplinary contexts. Each section offers valuable insights and practical strategies aimed at harnessing the full potential of OPBL to enhance student learning experiences and outcomes.
