The Casebook – University of Leeds

Seeking to promote the innovative teaching practices undertaken by staff at the University of Leeds, the Staff and Department Development Unit (SDDU) contracted Webducate to develop a searchable database of case studies, called the Casebook.

Developed using PHP and MySQL this web system allows university staff to submit a case study via an on-line form. A secure on-line administration area of the site allows SDDU staff to review, amend and publish submited case studies. The site delivers the portfolio of case studies via a search interface, and incorporates a page side bar which highlights the best, most recent case studies published, a tag cloud and the site generates a customised RSS new feed based on any search result. As with many Web2.0 type systems communication is facilitated by an open commenting facility linked to each case study, the admin system allowing comments to be manually screened before publishing.
