What is a case study?

A case study is a detailed example of a specific subject or project in its real-world context, focusing on a person, group, event or organisation.

For The Big Landscape, we are inviting NSEAD members to share their examples of best planning and practice in the Art & Design classroom. In particular, we are looking for exemplars of ideas and concepts outlined in The Big Landscape, providing real-world context of this comprehensive toolkit.

Example case study

Before submitting a proposal or curriculum in action case study, we recommend reading one or more of the case studies already published on The Big Landscape.

'Restructuring Resources' by Lucy Christian is open access for both members and non-members. Here Lucy shares how The Big Landscape helped her develop a Padlet board to review and refine her department's older curriculum resources at the Blanche Nevile School for Deaf Children (Secondary, 11-16) in North London.
