Abstract

This Conversion Immersion workshop introduced participants to the characteristics of Case Studies and the various settings in which cases can be used. It also provided a setting in which participants could work together in small groups to create outlines for their own cases that could be used to teach basic concepts either in a lecture or a laboratory format. The Wednesday session had 20 participants and the Thursday session had 17 participants. This paper summarizes the information given out during the workshop and the ideas generated by participants.
