CaseBuilder: A GUI Web App for Building Interactive Teaching Cases

摘要

Typically, case-based learning focuses on how students can learn from playing cases built by educators. However, students can also learn from building cases. In this demo, we will demonstrate CaseBuilder, a GUI Web App that allows students to build interactive teaching cases that can serve both as a learning experience for students and as the basis for the assessment of their learning, as well as a tool that supports the development of content for teaching future classes of students. Using student-generated cases ensures that cases are relevant to students' experiences and perspectives. So far, the CaseBuilder has been used by students in three classes at two universities, and, by developing this as open-source freeware, we hope that researchers, educators, and students across the country and around the world will be able to develop teaching cases in their disciplines and to continue to refine and extend the capabilities of CaseBuilder.
