About This Event
Case studies have become a powerful pedagogical approach for bridging theory and practice, fostering critical thinking, enhancing learner engagement, and preparing students for the complexities of professional practice. However, effective case-based education requires not only the ability to write high-quality teaching cases, but also the pedagogical expertise to facilitate meaningful case discussions and design impactful learning experiences around them.
This two-part online workshop—jointly delivered by CLICKS and Emerald Publishing—provides higher education faculty with a comprehensive and practical introduction to both writing teaching case studies and teaching effectively with cases.
Drawing on internationally recognized editorial and pedagogical standards, the workshop guides participants through the full case-based learning cycle: from identifying and developing compelling teaching cases to facilitating inclusive discussions, aligning cases with learning outcomes, and assessing student learning.
Across two interactive 4-hour sessions, participants will explore how case-based learning can strengthen employability, active learning, critical thinking, authentic learning, problem-solving, decision-making, and reflective practice across disciplines and delivery modes.
The workshop will include short practical exercises, peer discussion, critique activities, and guided application tasks to support participants in developing and applying case-based teaching and writing skills.

AI in learning & teaching
Explore the transformative impact of AI tools on higher education, with discussions on practical applications, ethical concerns, and the evolving role of educators in an AI-enabled world. In the fifth session of the free CODE learning and teaching webinar series , we will explore the positive and challenging impact on learning and teaching in Higher Education by Gen AI tools. In particular, we will discuss practical applications of using AI-powered systems in the curriculum and how these can enhance learning and teaching while also considering the concerns, issues around equity and privacy, and how the role of the educator needs to evolve to prepare students for an AI-enabled world. The session will draw from recent UK case studies and international best practices.
Purposeful assessment
In the sixth session of the free CODE learning and teaching webinar series , we will explore how we can design assessments that have purpose: to both measure whether students have met their learning outcomes, and also act as a learning opportunity in themselves. We will consider how the purpose of assessment can be to encourage not only learning, but also creativity and criticality, and what this might look like across different disciplines or institutions. How can we do this in the context of GenAI where students might be less motivated to focus on their own thoughts or responses in fear of getting it wrong, or in a situation when they feel too time-poor to successfully complete assessment? This session will explore some answers and approaches to this wicked problem. Purposeful assessment also needs to enable compassion and inclusivity, to ensure that all students feel able to get the most out of assessment opportunity - so these considerations will also be foregrounded during the session.
