Abstract

This digital poster documents the application of case-based learning in a higher education business context, providing a case study of how live case learning impacts student engagement. Live cases are characterised by interactivity, real and variable situations, and ill-structured problems that are changing minute by minute enabled through real world technology. We share our findings regarding student engagement. Evidence from 174 learners indicates that live case learning design is valuable, with high levels of intrinsic and tactical engagement apparent.
