Through short narratives, videos, data sets, historical artifacts or other materials; case studies present provocative questions and engage learners in the application of concepts and authentic problem-solving. The real or realistic observations and data provided in the case study help learners develop skills in higher-order thinking, communication and teamwork. Learners discuss observations, make predictions, analyze data, offer interpretations, make decisions, critique existing solutions and propose new avenues of investigation (Herreid, 1994).
