Learning and Teaching Guides: Case Studies for Active Learning

SUBJECT CENTRE LEGACY RESOURCE This guide explores the use of case studies in a range of
disciplines and discusses examples of best practice. Technology provides opportunities
for new ways of interacting with case materials and guidelines are included for creating
using and sharing resources such as audio visual material. The benefits of the case
experience are derived from the interaction between the problem task and setting (Bruner
2004). A participatory framework is presented of the case experience within which
students not only interact with the media but interact with each other and the lecturer
about the case. For use in the HLST and related disciplines.
