Keeping it real: Designing clear and authentic case studies

To help students stay focused and learn effectively, your case study should follow a clear and consistent storyline. A strong case avoids unnecessary details and keeps attention on what really matters. It’s also important that the case feels real and familiar to your students. Choose topics and situations that match their world – something they can understand and relate to. If the case is too niche or far from their experience, it may be harder for them to stay engaged.
In this  learning element, you’ll learn how to:

  • Keep your case consistent, with a clear structure and goals.
  • Make your case realistic by using familiar situations.
  • Add authenticity by connecting to your students’ studies and future careers.

These tips will help you design stronger case studies that are focused, relevant, and engaging.
