Cases 'n' Places: Global Cases in Educational and Performance Technology,
Edited by Stewart Marshall, The University of the West Indies and, Wanjira

A volume in the series: Educational Design and Technology in the Knowledge
Society
Series Editor(s): Stewart Marshall, The University of the West Indies and
Wanjira Kinuthia, Georgia State University
Practitioners in the field of educational technology require a high level of
problem solving, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills to deal with
learning issues that are often complex and multidimensional. Unfortunately,
there are few opportunities for providers of learning services and learners
to practice authentic instructional design or educational technology as part
of their academic preparation and/or training.
When learners interact with case studies through reasoning and problem
solving, learning takes place through the process of analysis, synthesis,
application, and evaluation. In particular, case studies that use story
telling to reflect problem situations in real-life create an authentic
learning environment for learners. This book provides the material that
learners can use to interact, reason and apply their problem solving skills
in realistic and engaging cases. Because of the interdisciplinary and
multidisciplinary nature of the field and the cases, this book is useful not
just in educational technology, but also in other fields. A "Facilitator
Guide" is provided for each chapter for teachers and trainers using this
book with their learners.
