Workshop Overview

Case studies have become a powerful pedagogical approach for bridging theory and practice, fostering critical thinking, enhancing learner engagement, and preparing students for the complexities of professional practice. However, effective case-based education requires not only the ability to write high-quality teaching cases, but also the pedagogical expertise to facilitate meaningful case discussions and design impactful learning experiences around them.

This two-part online workshop—jointly delivered by CLICKS and Emerald Publishing—provides higher education faculty with a comprehensive and practical introduction to both writing teaching case studies and teaching effectively with cases.

Drawing on internationally recognized editorial and pedagogical standards, the workshop guides participants through the full case-based learning cycle: from identifying and developing compelling teaching cases to facilitating inclusive discussions, aligning cases with learning outcomes, and assessing student learning.

Across two interactive 4-hour sessions, participants will explore how case-based learning can strengthen employability, active learning, critical thinking, authentic learning, problem-solving, decision-making, and reflective practice across disciplines and delivery modes.

The workshop will include short practical exercises, peer discussion, critique activities, and guided application tasks to support participants in developing and applying case-based teaching and writing skills.

Workshop Outcomes

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

Critically examine the pedagogical value of case-based learning in higher
