However, experience also shows that it is far more

dangerous to give any hint of the theory the student should
examine even in the most general terms. To do so, often

locks the student into poor thinking and avoidance of more

difficult aspects of solution generation as they think that

your comment is cast in stone. Nevertheless, if the ground-
work of trigger questions has been laid thoroughly,

throughout the module, on a progressive basis, then more

effective learning and satisfactory solutions can be achieved.

Today’s customers –students/lecturers- are more

demanding of the means by which materials and
information are presented to them and by its ease of access.

To this end case studies need to address the needs and

wants of the customers rather than just that of the
developer/user. The arrival of COVID-19 has materially

impacted on case study development, delivery, and use.
