Session Description
Teaching cases are a popular pedagogy in business and management studies. Typically presented in a traditional print style in black and white, the presentation of teaching cases tend to follow a conventional format. In this session, we will share an example of a recently written teaching case that is presented in a dynamic digital PDF flipbook including embedded images, audio and links. Working with the Centre for Teaching and Educational Technologies at Royal Roads University, the presenters will share their experiences with this project, some examples of traditional case presentation, and the flip book example. While the digital flipbook engages students with colour, imagery, and flippable pages, the audio recording embedded in the flip book improves accessibility for the visually impaired or differently abled. Digital flipbooks offer more accessible learning materials and are a positive advancement for the future presentation of teaching cases.
