When reviewing the Case-Based Methods, I am reminded of when I was pursuing my Master of Taxation degree. The professor would give us scenarios, then we would have to research tax law and tax cases to determine the proper tax treatment of the situation. Case Based reasoning helps students to find the necessary resources to discuss and debate issues such as case law.
These models are definitely more suited to professionals, lawyers, accountants, and persons with the ability to apply research skills. I would not use these methods in the classes I teach currently, simply because I do not feel my students would benefit. Most students would possibly be frustrated, and not be able to complete the assignments. Additionally, these models do take considerable time to create, and students would need access to large amounts of resources.
Possible use of this method via the Internet would include researching subject databases such as Lexus/Nexus; ERIC; and other professional based directories.
