Live Cases
This learning format allows educators to deliver experiential learning to students at scale. Students are often split into groups to work on a live case (or a series of cases) from a real host company that directly relates to key learning objectives.
Explore Past Engagements
This learning format allows schools to deliver experiential learning to students at scale in a cost effective way. These cases are designed to connect the classroom with industry partners that provide students with a real challenge to work on that directly relates to course concepts.
These are often used as a way to supplement traditional courses curriculum or as a case competition. A case is created to outline the goals of the engagement, including the company background and the business challenge(s). Students collaborate cross-functionally or compete in groups as they do research and propose solutions to the business challenges. The students usually get a few chances to interact with the company with help from a faculty liaison and can accommodate 6-100 students at once.
