Abstract

This paper describes an approach to conducting research leading to technological development that is grounded in detailed empirical research and participant engagement. We describe our initial findings about the diverse conceptualizations of cases and their use that exist in a number of higher education settings and match this to considerations of the potential of semantic technologies to support these teaching and learning activities. In this way we develop the argument for developing technologies in parallel with empirical research about current practices and engagement of participants in educational settings in order to realize the full potential of semantic technologies to support case-based learning.
