Synopsis

This book collects case studies in design and application of technology-mediated case-based learning models in higher education. It provides a much-needed, updated synthesis of recent research and application of technology-mediated case-based learning across disciplines within higher education. The book does not only provide a broad perspective and deep understanding on the designs and instructional applications of technology-mediated case-based learning models, but also inspire more interest in adopting or inventing new situated case-based learning models in the context of higher education.
