摘要：Transfer of learning can be demonstrated by assessment tasks mirroring real life situations. This
can be attempted in real organisations, or by simulating the real, life experience in a structured
case study. In this paper we discuss experiences with work situated learning and difficulties that
commonly arise. The alternative of encapsulating real life experience in hypermedia based materials
is then presented using a number of case studies. Finally a model is presented for producing
these ¡°real life¡± encapsulations which overcomes the problems of lack of structure in individual
experience without losing the advantages of common lifelike experiences. Some testing of the
model is presented. The model involves the steps of:
. Determine real life skills commonly required
. Imagine a context rich enough (and having the case study design team with enough
knowledge of the context that they can draw from their experience to fill in the holes)
. Structure (partition) the case so that team work is possible without too much overlap between
tasks. Identify the overlapping points that will force the level of teamwork between
students that is intended
. Identify parts of the solution development where students can be synchronised using a
published solution to part of the problem
. Create answers for each skill point starting from the top
. Tag each part of the answer with the essential component of information required for an
answer
. Determine the most likely format that the tagged information would be found in real life
. Create the set of tagged information using unskilled labour to provide detailed data
. Write the project brief so that an appropriate level of guidance is given for navigating the
information sources
