TRICS

Tools for Re-use of Interactive Case Studies

Background

Built and evaluated interactive case study that allows students to investigate an organisation in 2003

Now need to re-architect to support more features, better authoring tools, multiple concurrent cases, easy sharing and distribution and re-use of case components (e.g. organisational structure and questions and answers, organisational documents)
