Learning with cases offers students the opportunity to engage with authentic and complex problems, providing them with valuable experience in dealing with diverse and unpredictable outcomes. By leveraging emerging technologies, educators can create innovative learning environments that have never been possible before. However, to fully realize the potential of case-based learning, responsive and participatory approaches to research, design, and development are essential.

In this comprehensive book, the authors showcase how participatory approaches can transform educational technologies and enhance case-based teaching and learning. Interdisciplinary case studies illustrate how new methods can inform curriculum development, course redesign, the introduction of case-based teaching and learning, student research projects, and technology-enhanced learning environments across various disciplines. The authors also discuss the importance of dealing with complexity and change, as well as the nature of diverse learning environments.

By exploring the interplay between technology and pedagogy, Improving Case Based Learning in Higher Education provides valuable insights into the potential of case-based learning in higher education. It serves as a valuable resource for educators, researchers, and policymakers seeking to enhance the learning experience and promote student success in today's rapidly changing world.
