Reflections - Activity 5.2 Case studies from the Carnegie & Hewlett Foundations

(prior to going to the FCC message board)

Reflections on my review of case studies

Key points that need to be present for a case study / research study to be convincing for me

• relevance of the topic to myself and others
• transferability of the ideas to other contexts(hopefully including my own)
  
• clarity of explanation to allow
• its benefits to be understood
  
• the study to be repeated
• the attractiveness of the benefits (learning / teaching)
• the ease at which it can be repeated
• its underlying educational philosophy is either stated directly or clearly inferred
• flexible .. addresses a number of needs / interests

Possible framework for a good poster?

• context is clearly stated
• purpose / need / issue stated clearly
• principle of the project outlined
• resources required for the project
• methods clearly outlined.. and benefits resulting from them outlined
