Writing cases is a time-consuming activity which is only rewarded in a few universities. We can encourage case-writing via a worldwide competition. A monetary award may be necessary to activate the best case-writers. We cannot afford to give the cream of our crop the impression that teaching does not matter. We should be actively involved in the preparation and the delivery of the Doctoral Colloquium.
Discussion is needed to establish some guidelines and procedure.
This summer school would have sessions on teaching with spreadsheets, cases, using team-learning, experiential learning, electronic communication and the Internet, presentation skills, curriculum development, course design, exam design, establishing a dialogue with a class, dealing with problem students, etc. A quarterly teaching journal could be well-received by our members. In addition, such a journal would encourage writing of more cases and real-world practice papers for educational use. To minimize cost, it may be wise to establish the journal as a refereed on-line journal. Discussion among people interested in getting involved is necessary.
