Towards active case based learning in IS
by Lyn Antill
International Journal of Teaching and Case Studies (IJTCS), Vol. 1, No. 1/2, 2007

Abstract: Persistent difficulties in getting students to understand certain topics in Information Systems led to a rethink of how we could meet the objectives for the particular courses taught at NBS. The paper describes some of the problems currently being met, particularly the 'concrete' thinking and 'surface' learning of many of the students and their primary concern with a degree as a passport to a job. To improve the students' performance a number of suggestions are made of ways in which more use could be made of experiential and case based learning some initial experiences and future plans.
