Case-Based Learning Scenarios

ITLS is proud to present a new resource for instructors: the Case-Based Learning Scenarios and Scenario Evaluation Rubric.

This release includes an overview of ITLS Case-Based Learning (CBL), a detailed description of the new CBL scenario format, the first two sets of teaching scenarios, and the new Scenario Evaluation Scoring Rubric. The scenario format has been designed specifically to enhance instructors’ efficiency and effectiveness when teaching.

These materials will assist instructors with presenting Case-Based ITLS Provider courses that address the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains of learning for a more intensive ITLS learning experience. Through carefully crafted questions and feedback, ITLS instructors take an active role in facilitating learner understanding and enabling them to integrate the key points and learning objectives.

Reminder: These open-access materials are for practice use during an ITLS course only and should NOT be used for testing.

Scenarios will be released in sets of 10 on an ongoing basis with the goal to develop a comprehensive bank of scenario resources for instructors. The CBL Scenarios – Version 1.0 document will be updated to a new version with each new scenario set release to make it easy to ensure instructors have access to the most current materials. All scenarios align with the changes that will be published in the 9th Edition ITLS Provider manual slated for release this fall.
