	The tale of the learning practitioner:
	Engaging HCPs with case-based learning

Dear Sarah

Audience-specific engagement
Developing engaging learning materials for HCPs represents an ongoing challenge. Those working at the ‘coal face’ often have demanding and dynamic roles in which learning – although beneficial and often essential – represents burdensome lectures or working through text-heavy pages of online content. Structured learning can be highly effective with a novice, but a practitioner will often need that something extra to really engage with the content

Engaging learners with stories
Through the creation of credible, realistic scenarios which the user can relate to, case-based learning provides a hands-on approach for the more experienced learner. It allows the HCP to empathize with patient stories and provides a vehicle for contextualizing dry data. When used effectively, it can foster a range of skills from strategic thinking to problem solving

Many ways to tell a story
There is no specific format for case-based learning. In some circumstances, a classroom-based approach combining breakout sessions and group discussions may be suitable; in others, a self-paced e-learning approach may be employed in which the learner explores virtual environments through effective use of branched scenarios and multimedia
