Overview
This practical and intensive workshop will offer a maximum of twelve inexperienced case writers the opportunity to take time out to work on an idea they already have for a case. The skills and knowledge that participants will acquire at this workshop will enable them to develop their case and to identify and prepare additional support material that will enhance the learning experience of their target audience.
Participants
Start Writing Cases will be of benefit to:
-
junior or senior faculty from any academic discipline who have little experience of writing cases for teaching purposes
-
business based trainers interested in preparing their own materials for employee development
-
those who are keen to begin writing cases or wish to enhance their case writing skills.
