Keep your teaching fresh

Using Expert Briefings can help to keep teaching cases feeling fresh and relevant in a rapidly changing world. The scenario presented in a peer-reviewed case study might be a couple of years old as soon as it is published. Expert Briefings allow you to recast the case here and now – so important in a rapidly-changing world.

Develop critical thinking and decision-making skills

Expert Briefings content is used by business and government decision-makers all over the world. Using the content in class gives students practice in using and presenting information the way they will in their future careers.

Dr Giles Alston uses Expert Briefings to bring the real world into the classroom, by challenging students to monitor developments in a particular country or region throughout the semester and think about how the changing environment affects business and government decisions. We asked him to share his experience.
