Case-Based Learning
Case-based learning describes instructional methods in which an expert describes experiences or cases, to assist others to learn and reason in similar situations. This allows novices to transfer the cases into knowledge that can be recalled and utilized in flexible ways. Cases allow a learner to assign meaning and context to a situation, facilitating problem-solving in similar or new situations. The cases are essentially expert advice framed as a story.

The ICF Model: A Case Study of Ben
Ben’s videos include great therapist interaction and modeling of therapeutic alliance. He shows some frustration at times which is important for students to problem-solve. Ben’s medical history is complicated and so an excellent case to introduce or reinforce systems review principles. He has many personal factors and environmental factors that students can connect to parts of the ICF model template. Ben’s young age and prior level of function are salient to the students and grab their attention.
