A good case study starts with a clear problem. When students are asked to solve a realistic challenge, they become more engaged and learn more effectively. In education, constructed problems work especially well because they can be shaped to match the needs and goals of your course.
In this learning element, you’ll explore how to design problem-based case studies that support active learning:

• Understand why using a central problem is key to a strong case study.
• Learn how to create complex but clear problems that involve multiple layers and interactions.
• Discover how this approach helps students build important skills like analysis, teamwork, and decision-making.

These tips will help you build stronger, more focused case studies that encourage students to think critically and solve problems.
