New Resources for Case-Based Learning: Digital Books on Writing, Learning and Case-Based Training

A few weeks ago, we announced a new collection of teaching materials from WITS Business School, a large South-African case center (see article). This allows eValorix to offer new cases in English that address the specificities of the commercial environment in South Africa, specificities we can hardly approach with international cases. The eValorix catalog is now composed of two large case collections from our partners: The HEC Montréal Case Center and the WITS Business School Case Centre.

Practical and comprehensive guides for students and teachers interested in the case method

In addition to the catalog of educational cases, eValorix now offers several digital books to better understand and use cases. Case-based learning raises several challenges. How to animate a class? How to create and sustain interest? How to guide discussion and debate? These are challenges faced by trainers who use case studies. (See article).
