Teacher’s experience with case teaching
Using case studies can be a valuable method for your teaching, as it bridges theoretical concepts and practical, real-world scenarios. However, successful case teaching requires you to draw on various types of experience. Case-like experiences can come from teaching, but also from other parts of life, such as hobbies or everyday events. Experimenting and trying out different cases and methods provides gradual increase in case teaching skills.

Personal reflection
Do you have colleagues with whom you could work together to develop case-based teaching? How could you cooperate?
You can share materials and tips. Maybe you could also follow each other's teaching, or co-teach? It's easiest to start with simple, structured cases and work your way up to more complex and open cases. By experimenting, you will find the right level for you and your students.
Think of a hobby or an experience in your personal life that would work as an inspiration for case teaching.
For example, have you stayed at a hotel where the quality and your service experience were really poor? Would you like to write a case study about it and explore with students how the hotel could start improving its quality?
