2. Why a case study approach?
Problem based approach to learning
Presents a way of analyzing your context to identify a
learning (or teaching) challenge which needs to be
resolved/ or an opportunity which requires further
exploration
Design a learning intervention (activity) using an
appropriate ‘technology’
Present details about the situation, process, findings
and reflections as a case study
Opportunities to get feedback from peers & facilitators

3. Based on an Integrative Learning
Design Framework (ILDF
Explore
Enact
Evaluate
Reflect
Adapted from
Dabbagh &
Bannan Ritland
(2005).
For designing
online learning
environments

4. Reflections as ‘pit-stops’
Reflection 1: Context, challenges and
outcomes
Reflection 2: Research on potential tools /
technologies in your disciplines
Reflection 3: Established practice and
affordances of selected tool /
technology
Reflection 4: Description of intervention
Reflection 5 Reflexive account of the
process of case study

5. Reflection 1: Context, challenges
and outcomes (exploration)
a) In which context are you teaching
(institution, type of learners and learning
environment )?
b) What are the teaching & learning
challenges/opportunities leading you to re-
assess your practice?
c) Intended outcome(s): Describe the
objective(s) behind the practice outlined here

6. Reflection 2:Research on potential
tools / technologies in your
disciplines (exploration)
a) Conduct a small literature review on potential
tools and technologies in your discipline
b) Summarize your findings
c) Ask facilitators for help if you need some
initial pointers

7. Reflection 3: *Established practice
and affordances of selected tool /
technology: (enactment)
a) Established practice: Identify features of your
current practice - this may include any aspects
which were subsequently amended
b) Affordances / benefits of technology: Describe the
benefits of tool/ technology that you have
selected, as experienced by learners, practitioners
and/or the institution as a whole as established
through your literature review, personal
experience and discussion/feedback from
facilitators, students and peers.

8. Reflection 4: Description of
intervention (enactment)
a) Describe your planned intervention. Share this
reflection with
colleagues, students, peers, facilitators and get
feedback (formative evaluation). What did you
learn? What changes could you make to your
learning intervention in the light of the feedback
received from peers, your class participants and
facilitators?
b) This will feed into your final presentation and
case study.

9. Reflection 5:Reflexive account of the
process of case study (evaluation)
a) How did I go about exploring what I needed
to do?
b) How did I design and develop my learning
activity/intervention ?
c) How did I formatively evaluate my prototype
learning activity?
