Overview

At a time when universities are encouraging academics to strengthen the link between their research and teaching, this workshop will provide a framework for using the case method in this process. By bringing research into the classroom, the tutor benefits from student input and responses, whilst students respond well to the enthusiasm and vested interest of the tutor. This workshop explores the use of cases to maximise the potential of the link between research and teaching. Participants will work through their own experiences and opportunities in a supportive environment.

This workshop will be of benefit to a wide audience, including:

Teachers interested in finding ways to build a research agenda based on their teaching
Those interested in using case approaches for both teaching and research
