How tutors use CaseWise for guided case-based learning

CaseWise helps tutors turn clinical cases and curated classical sources into focused learning activity. Tutors can prepare source records, set human-reviewed difficulty, create institution-linked assignments, review submissions, manage feedback threads, and connect students with Academy course material.

Tutor workflows

Main use cases for tutors

These workflows follow the teaching loop: prepare cases, publish institution-linked tasks, review reasoning, and help students improve through feedback and revision.

01

Curate cases and classical sources

Review source case fields, learning notes, teaching suitability, and classical source markers before students use a record.

Teaching outcome: Students work from cases that are clearer, safer, and better matched to the learning goal.

02

Set difficulty and learning focus

Use human-reviewed difficulty and learning notes to indicate whether a case is beginner, intermediate, or advanced.

Teaching outcome: Difficulty is treated as a teaching decision rather than an automatic score.

03

Create focused assignments

Turn one or more source cases into assignments with rich-text briefs, learning objectives, student instructions, review criteria, due dates, and enrolment settings.

Teaching outcome: Students know what to do, why the case matters, how the work will be reviewed, and when it is due.

04

Publish to the right students

Link assignments to an institution, choose enrolment settings, and publish when the student, cases, and due date are ready.

Teaching outcome: Assignment access follows the teaching context instead of leaking across unrelated groups.

05

Monitor submitted work

Use assignment status, student counts, due-date indicators, and the review queue to see drafts, submitted responses, revision requests, and reviewed work.

Teaching outcome: Tutors can find the work needing attention without losing sight of the wider cohort.

06

Review reasoning in context

Read the student response alongside the assignment, source cases, classical source labels, and relevant clinical evidence.

Teaching outcome: Feedback can address the reasoning trail, not just the final answer.

07

Manage feedback threads

Add section-specific comments, ask for clarification, request revision, resolve addressed points, and keep the discussion attached to the submission.

Teaching outcome: Students can see exactly what changed, what still needs work, and where the tutor comment belongs.

08

Support student follow-through

Students can track assigned, submitted, revision-requested, and overdue work, then return to the student workspace when no assignment is waiting.

Teaching outcome: Tutors can connect formal assignments with independent case practice.

09

Use Academy material alongside cases

Point students to relevant Academy courses, structured sections, notes, videos, images, and chapter navigation that support the assignment topic.

Teaching outcome: Case practice and course content reinforce each other.

10

Improve the teaching case library

Use patterns from submissions and feedback to refine instructions, case metadata, difficulty, learning notes, and future learning tasks.

Teaching outcome: The library becomes more useful for future teaching rather than staying a static archive.

Feature areas

Where tutors spend time

Tutor help is split by use cases and by page features, so users can either start from a teaching job or from the screen they are already using.

Teaching assignments

Create assignments, select source cases, set enrolment, review submissions, and manage revision status.

Case library

Find, inspect, and maintain clinical cases and classical sources so teaching tasks stay grounded.

Academy learning

Use course pages, structured sections, chapter links, notes, videos, and images to support case-based study.

Review queue

Prioritise submitted work, revision cycles, and open comments waiting for tutor attention.
