What is an OpenCase?
OpenCases are up-to-date open innovation challenges based on our growing diverse network of industry partners. These cases are a great way to prepare students for Capstone Projects, LiveCases, and Internships.
Each of these plug-and-play “Case Studies” is based on a real organization with a real challenge and can be used as engaging classroom content!
How OpenCases can be used in a Classroom Setting

Sign-up and begin browsing our growing case library, which features a wide variety of case topics based on diverse global organizations. Case topics include growth strategy, marketing, data management, supply chain management, product development, operations, communications, public relations, etc.
Select the Case You Wish to Use and Adjust the Content to Best Meet Your Teaching Goals
Once you identify the case(s) that best suits your needs, you can begin customizing it so it accommodates your student level and teaching goals.
You can adjust the case content, milestones, deliverable expectations, resources, and timeline. These customizations allow for a more adaptive experience to best fit individual teaching needs.
On-board Students and Assign Teams
Once you’ve finalized the case, students can begin the onboarding process. Group students into teams on the platform; once registered, students will have access to all the information they need for the case.
Students can view the case materials, resources, and timeline, then upload deliverables through the platform.
