Abstract

The advantages of electronic case studies in providing proper information communication are discussed. Electronic cases promote abilities such as problem-solving skills, habits of reflection and enhancing cooperative learning skills. The case has been developed to enrich the educational prospects and communicative skills of the students by providing access to elements like information sources and collaboration tools. It is observed that the case study not only incorporates the basic tenets expresed in numerous case-study applications, but also complicates the idea of the case study and its impact on the problem-solving skills of the students.
