Student and teaching documentation
CaseWise turns real clinical records and curated classical sources into structured learning tasks. Students can explore the case library, open a case before starting a learning task, work through reasoning one step at a time, and respond to tutor feedback. Tutors can curate cases, set focused assignments, review submissions, and keep every comment connected to the source material.
Student workflows
The student workspace is designed to slow clinical thinking down in a useful way: find or browse a suitable case, read it first, form a view, then use learning prompts and comparison to test that view.
01
Search by condition, pattern, symptom, formula, herb, or learning theme, or open Explore Cases for a simple searchable list.
Student benefit: Students spend less time hunting for examples and more time practising clinical interpretation.
02
Use beginner, intermediate, and advanced study guides based on tutor-reviewed difficulty levels, with AI suggestions kept advisory.
Student benefit: Students are less likely to be pushed into cases that are too easy, too advanced, or incorrectly classified.
03
Use the Open case action to read the source record, including classical source markers where relevant, before starting a guided response.
Student benefit: Students begin with evidence from the record rather than jumping straight to an answer.
04
Read the presentation, identify important signs, and commit to an initial pattern and treatment direction.
Student benefit: Reasoning becomes explicit before comparison tools or AI-supported prompts are used.
05
Use recall, reasoning, application, and reflection prompts to check understanding from different angles.
Student benefit: Students practise more than recall; they rehearse clinical judgement, transfer, and self-review.
06
Use case comparison after forming a view to examine differences in presentation, diagnosis, formula choice, herb changes, and response.
Student benefit: Students learn how similar cases can still lead to different clinical decisions.
07
Open assigned case tasks, save drafts, submit responses, watch due dates, and return when tutor feedback asks for changes.
Student benefit: Students can see what is due, what has been submitted, and where feedback needs a response.
08
Capture questions for the tutor while writing the response, especially where the case evidence is ambiguous or incomplete.
Student benefit: Students learn to name uncertainty instead of hiding it.
09
Use review threads to connect tutor comments back to source cases, submitted reasoning, revisions, and resolved discussion points.
Student benefit: Feedback becomes part of the learning record rather than a separate note.
10
Open Academy courses to work through structured sections, chapter links, notes, videos, images, and course navigation alongside case-based practice.
Student benefit: Students get an independent learning resource they can return to between assignments, supervision, and clinical case work.
Tutor benefits
Tutors can use the same case library to prepare focused study guides, assign work, and review how students reason through evidence.
Review extracted fields, add learning notes, assign difficulty, and mark classical sources clearly so students see cases at the right level.
Select a case set, define the clinical reasoning task, add learning objectives, and publish it to a student.
Student instructions, due dates, and assessment criteria keep the task aligned with the teaching goal.
The review queue brings submitted work, source cases, open comments, tutor feedback, and revision status into one place.
Revision requests and review threads give students a clear path to improve their reasoning.
Every assignment and comment stays connected to the original source cases rather than drifting into generic advice.
Shared benefits
Both students and tutors work from the same structured clinical records and curated classical sources.
Comparisons, submissions, and comments make clinical thinking easier to review.
Drafts, submissions, tutor feedback, and review threads stay connected to the learning task.
