Learning from 3 Case Studies Sally Kuhlenschmidt Western Kentucky University Bowling Green, KY 42101 Overview Linked below are 3 parts of a case study concerning the scholarly use of technology in instruction. The incidents described are based on personal experiences but the individuals are fictional. These three struggle with how to behave in a scholarly fashion toward various technological tools and present some pitfalls and triumphs of instruction with technology. I have chosen a case studies approach because successful generalization of scholarly behavior into daily on-line life requires diagnostic and integration skills, best conveyed through deep reflection.
Case studies support that kind of long term thought.
