Instructional Design Case Studies Guide Instructional Design Case Studies Guide Case studies have proven to be a very valuable tool for developing expertise in an area of knowledge or for applying a set of skills.
Case studies are also an effective mechanism for enhancing problem-solving and critical thinking.
For this task, you will collaborate with your group members and develop solutions for eight cases presented throughout the term. The case studies should enable you to use the knowledge and apply the skills you are learning in class in real-world contexts. I hope that you will find the case studies a rewarding way to apply what you are learning to problems that you may encounter as a design professional. Analyzing cases and presenting your reflections on the process are two of the main activities your group will be engaged in as you work with the case studies. In terms of actual products, the activities translate into answers to specific questions related to the case and in-class group discussions for enhancing your understanding of the design process.
