E-course for youth educators how to use the videoed Casebook

The case studies offer various ways of using depending on teacher, the resources and time available, the nature of the class and the students and the subject of the case study. Here below are the following proposals of applying case studies in the process of teaching:

• Class discussion: the case is presented to learners, either on the spot for immediate discussion, mirroring a real-life situation, or as preparatory work in advance of discussion in a later class. The discussion itself may take place among the entire class, or the class may be divided into small groups, each of which analyses the case and reports back to the larger group.
• Role plays: The case study may be presented either in whole or in part as a role play. Discussion and analysis would proceed either through the role play or at the conclusion, as a class review
• Interviews: The students may only be presented with part of the information and be required to ask questions to extract the rest of the data needed and provide their analysis and recommendations. The instructor or other students may answer questions.
• Assignments: The case study may be presented as an assignment, with the student required to write an analysis and recommendations.
