it impacts directly on the student who will use it and assess

its efficacy.

The next step is the construction of the interactive case study.

This draws on greater institutional resources than those of

the paper-based case study such as video, scripting, design

and animation, hypertext linking, web site construction,

storage, internet access, etc. but hopefully, as Bonk 2004

would support, provides a stronger more effective and

enjoyable learning experience for the student.

Finally, the interactive case study has to be bedded in with

the multimedia delivery system that provides a matrix of

pedagogic materials that support the interactive case study.

This architecture is dynamic in nature and is subject to an

environment which is continually in a state of flux. Its efficacy

is to a great extent conditional on the institution’s VLE and

MLE (Lane-Maher and Ashar 2001, Moskal and Dziuban 2001,

Smith 2001, Twigg 2004,).

Stream B: comprises case analysis which is essentially the case
