As the Coronavirus causes the usual delivery of programmes around the world to be disrupted, we at The Case Centre are working hard to support you, the students, through this period of uncertainty.
Learning online
We understand that adapting to solely learning online during this difficult time can be a big challenge for many.
We believe it is vital that the case community, including students, comes together to share experiences and best practices. Moving to learning (with cases) online quickly may provide different challenges, but with this support we can help you have the most positive learning experience possible.
One of the key benefits of the case method is its ability to engage students, and this naturally lends itself to increasing the interactivity of online sessions.
Resources
To support you we will be curating a list of relevant resources. The list below will be updated with new resources as they’re produced.
If you have written, or if you see, a relevant resource on these topics, please let us know and we'll add it to the list and share it via our social media channels.

"Today I had my first online class at #INSEAD. After some anxiety and many doubts about what the quality of future classes would be from now on, we were surprised by an incredibly interactive and motivating class, which proves that traditional formats can and must be challenged by technology and this is the time to make it happen. Pierre Chandon nailed it with such an interesting case study! #brandmanagement #marketing #burgerking"
