Case studies are an important part of the process at universities. They allow students to develop analytical and deep skills, and learn to apply methods in practice. However, case studies often require structured and effective information management. The Conoted app can help you optimize this process. Let's look at how you can use Conoted for case studies during your university studies.
1. Create a Case Study Group
The first step is to create a group dedicated to a specific case study. Group work allows students to share their ideas and discuss possible solutions. The "Create a Group of Marked Pillars" app, where you can collaborate on notes, connect to information, and discuss different aspects of the case. Each group can include both students and teachers to guide and monitor the work process.
How to create a group:
- Open the Conoted app and click "Create Group".
- Add students and faculty to the group by sending them an invitation.
- Give the group a name that includes the topic of the case, e.g. “Marketing Strategy Keys.”
2. Organize Information and Take Notes
During a case study, it is important to organize the information. With Conoted, you can create notes on key aspects of the case: input data, problems, goals, alternative solutions, pros and cons analysis, and final recommendations. Each group member can contribute notes that are visible to all group members.
Tips for organizing information:
- Create notes on each part of the case study (e.g. “Problem Description,” “Market Analysis,” “SWOT Analysis”).
- Use tags and links between notes to link interdependent ideas and create a more holistic view of the case.
- Use voice input to quickly take notes during discussions.
3. Linking Notes for Deeper Analysis
Linking notes in Conoted allows you to link notes to each other, which is especially useful when analyzing cases. For example, if you have a note with a problem analysis, you can link it to a note using the available solutions. This allows you to quickly move from one note to another and maintain the integrity of the analysis of the image.
Examples of using note linking:
- Link a note "Problem Description" to a note "Alternative Solutions".
- Link notes containing statistical data to notes containing analysis and conclusions.
- Create your own notes for each solution and link them to the performance evaluation.
4. Group Discussion and Collaborative Preparation of Solutions
Conoted allows group members to actively discuss notes and express opinions in a short time. This can be especially useful during study sessions when students are working on a case and reinforcing ideas. The opportunity to visit with on-site experts also allows you to gain additional insights and recommendations.
How to organize a discussion:
- Reply to notes during discussions and offer your ideas.
- Invite experts to participate in discussions and additional opinions.
- Create notes with alternative conclusions of the discussions so that valuable thoughts are not lost.
5. Preparing and presenting the results of work on the case
Once work on the case is completed, Conoted allows you to quickly and easily collect all notes and prepare a final presentation. All information is already structured, and you can use notes and relationships between them to create a logical and convincing presentation.
Recommendations for preparing presentations:
- Use the tag structure to build a presentation by stages: problem, analysis, solutions, conclusions.
- A link to the necessary notes in the application allows you to quickly access additional information if necessary.
- Present the results of the group's work using notes as evidence.
Conclusion
The Conoted app makes case studies at the University as efficient as possible, helping students structure information, work online, and easily create meaningful presentations. Use Conoted to increase productivity and organize your learning process!
