The purpose of this study is to explore ways to effectively operate online problem-based learning that can be suggested as an alternative method in the non-face-to-face online distance education situation that has emerged as a new normal due to COVID-19. To this end, I analyzed the needs of professors who had conducted PBL and e-PBL at the university, and compared and analyzed their perception of the PBL effect. The research results are as follows. First, it is necessary for professors to have sufficient education on understanding and operating methods of PBL classes. Second, it is necessary to pre-design and prepare PBL through individual consulting with experts. Third, it is necessary to provide professors and students with a variety of online tools that can promote team activities and promote interaction in online, and education of how to use them. Fourth, it is necessary to prepare internal and external motivation systems to enhance the willingness and effort of active participation of professors and students. The results of this study will provide practical implications for successfully operating and improving the quality of non-face-to-face online problem-based learning.
