Impacting student learning using a living case study

---

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of using a living case study method to teach graduate students in an organizational development (OD) course. A living case is defined as one where participants study a current, ongoing situation over the entire semester. Students worked with an authentic client to solve an authentic problem. After the course concluded interviews were conducted. Learners expressed a sense of feeling more connected and engaged with the course content because of the living case. Students also exhibited significant learning – new skills and mindsets developed during the course that are valued and used in their work, school, and personal lives.
Design/methodology/approach – This is an instrumental case study of a work-based instructional design used to improve student engagement and learning outcomes. Findings – Students worked with an authentic client to solve an authentic problem. Learners expressed a sense of feeling more connected and engaged with the course content because of the living
case. Students also exhibited significant learning – new skills and mindsets developed during the course that are valued and used in their work, school, and personal lives. Practical implications – Higher education (HE) instructors are expected to teach students knowledge and skills that will be valuable at work and in life after graduation. Using a living case allows students to extract learning directly from the work experience. By using the concepts and the
tools in an authentic, living case, students gain experience and concrete knowledge. Originality/value – This study extends past research on connecting classroom learning and work experience. It looks at how a course designed using a living case study can be used to improve learner engagement and create longer term value for students.
