Towards the Enhancement of the Learning Process with Different Types of Case Based Activities

The use of authentic problems in the form of Cases in a variety of teaching activities is a well established method aiming to foster the development of problem solving skills. Although a large number of case based educational systems are available, none of them supports all the different types of case based activities. In this paper we present an empirical study, conducted in order to establish the design of a web-based educational environment, referred to as CASTLE, aiming to support the creation and elaboration of Case activities of all types.
