Digital Case Method

This class is designed for teaching and learning professionals, media professors, and university and college leaders interested in learning, creating, and using Digital Case Studies.

Digital Case Studies can be created by students using inexpensive equipment, such as smartphones and laptops, and can profile issues that range from public policy, to civic engagement, to business, health and education.

By combining short PBS/BBC style documentaries - often created by students – with traditional written cases, powerful modular learning assets are created.

The goal is to help students and learners all over the world to tap into the power of visual storytelling. Video tools and digital cases learned through this course can play a crucial role in this process. This course includes tutorials and hands-on training to create cases, use inexpensive equipment and open-source tools, and looks into how case study programs can be designed, organized, funded and managed.

As discussed in our book, Leveling the Learning Curve , and the "Leveling The Learning Curve" conference, digital cases are fantastic learning assets for use in both in-person and online classes.

Important information covered in this course includes video, production, green screen, case studies, and digital storytelling.
