The Case of the Druid Dracula
Brickman, Peggy
Journal of College Science Teaching, v36 n2 p48-53 Oct 2006
This article describes how case studies have been successfully implemented in an introductory biology course of 300+ students using available technologies ranging from WebCT, used to assign students to permanent small groups (as well as assign groups to regions of a large lecture hall), to hand-held response systems (aka "clickers"), which students use to collaboratively solve cases during class. (Contains 4 figures.)
