-====== Case-Based Learning ======
-Case-based learning is a [[constructivism|constructivist]] instructional design method employed in law schools even as far back as 19th century and suggests **learning through introducing a learner to a situation** he might face in real world, **discussing it** and **making conclusions** out of it.
-Case based learning introduces learners who **typically work in groups** to **a hypothetical situation (case)** they are **likely** to face **in real life**. They are then **encouraged to examine and discuss it**. The teachers role is to guide the discussion to address the right aspects of the problem and thereby facilitate learning.
-Simple **rules that should ensure efficient case-based** learning suggested by Clyde Herreid are that the story (case) should be:
-  * **focused on an interesting issue**
-  * **set in the past five years**
-  * provoking **empathy with the central characters** and including **quotations**
-  * **relevant to the reader** and have a **pedagogic utility**
-  * **conflict provoking** and **decision forcing**
-  * **short** and **enable generalizations**
-It is important to notice that cases do not necessarily have just one correct conclusion.
-Case-based studies can be used in every classroom and present a good way of **connecting theory with practice**. They enable learners to see **different consequences** of their decision as well as **different points of view offered by others**.
