sight looks fairly easy but this can often be deceptive for

complexity builds as case research develops e.g. secondary

data generation is inevitably extensive as this is the basis

upon which most case studies are built.

Furthermore, if the lecturer’s objectives are to be achieved

then co-ordination between case development and case

analysis must be addressed. Here pedagogy is the lubricant

facilitating integration. It starts with what is the case study

about and ends with what has happened, what is likely to

happen, and what recommendations for solution resolution

may be made.

For the student these stages tend to be passive with a

reliance on the lecturer to generally provide the pedagogic

base and the case solution.

ACTIVE (Student Driven)

Crisp and Wood (2014) commented in their study that “Five

years ago just over half of all respondents preferred full-time

study, today that has fallen to just over 40%. Increasingly

students are choosing a hybrid approach, taking advantage

of new technology and continuing to work while studying,

embracing the concept of lifestyle learning.” adding to the

student driven approach.
