A Step-by-Step Guide to Case-Based Collaborative Learning (CBCL)

"A Step-by-Step Guide to Case-Based Collaborative Learning (CBCL)" is a comprehensive professional book aimed at medical educators that thoroughly addresses the method of case-based collaborative learning (CBCL). CBCL combines elements of team-based, case-based, and problem-based learning and utilizes a flipped classroom model. The book provides a practical guide for creating CBCL teaching materials, facilitating lively discussions, and supporting both students and educators within a CBCL curriculum. The initial chapters illuminate the theoretical foundations of the CBCL method and offer step-by-step instructions for developing teaching materials. It also discusses how both educators and students can optimally benefit from case discussions. Finally, adaptations of the CBCL method that have evolved over time to meet the demands of distance learning and promote self-directed learning are addressed. Although originally designed for medical education, the CBCL method is also of interest to other areas of higher education that value discussion-based learning.
