Case Studies

​I work for an organization whose vision is to support individuals with disabilities to live 'lives filled with possibilities in welcoming communities'. To enhance their ability to assist individuals with planning, our staff are required to take training around how to ensure a person-centred planning process with the individuals they support. It is very important that our training assists staff to learn more about this type of planning process.

I think case studies are a great learning tool for our staff to 'practice' their learning in a safe environment, without worrying about how they will impact the people they are 'working with' in the case study. I believe this is one of the major advantages of using case studies as a learning strategy; case studies give learners a chance to practice their learning before they have to walk it out in the real world.

The presentation below talks about different aspects of using case studies as a learning strategy. The presentation was done using Canva software, a design software that is useful for a variety of applications including posters, brochures, invitations, and presentations. One of my fellow students in the PIDP at VCC did a great job of highlighting the important features of case studies in this digital project. I love the simplicity of Don's presentation, and how clearly it describes the use of case studies as an effective learning strategy.
