[AISWorld] Software for case based teaching and learning in Information Systems

[Ilia Bider]

Dear colleagues,

Could anybody give us an advice on software (preferably open source)  
suitable for case based teaching and learning in IS.

More specifically, we use case-based approach in several courses that 
concern modeling of organizations, be it goal modeling, conceptual 
modeling, process modeling, etc. A case is always artificial and 
consists of textual description of an organization. Based on this 
description, students build a model in groups. When there are 
ambiguities, they decide themselves, or ask the tutor.

We want to change this practice so that instead of the textual 
description, there is a system that can answer questions about business 
activities in the simulated organization. The situation becomes nearer 
to what the students will be working with after their graduation. Nobody 
will provide them with textual descriptions, they will need to create 
them and the models themselves by asking people working in the organization.

The system should allow some kind of scenarios illustrated with 
multimedia - video clips, etc.

Any help on finding appropriate software or papers, or experience of 
similar projects would be greatly appreciated.
As customary, the compilation of replies will be posted back to the list.

-- Thank you and best regards

Ilia
