Pandemic SARS-CoV-2 has ushered in a renewed interest in science along with rapid changes to educational modalities. While technology provides a variety of ways to convey learning resources, the incorporation of alternate modalities can be intimidating for those designing curricula. We propose strategies to permit rapid adaptation of curricula to achieve learning in synchronous, asynchronous, or hybrid learning environments. Case studies are a way to engage students in realistic scenarios that contextualize concepts and highlight applications in the life sciences. While case studies are commonly available and adaptable to course goals, the practical considerations of how to deliver and assess cases in online and blended environments can instill panic. Here we review existing resources and our collective experiences creating, adapting, and assessing case materials across different modalities. We discuss the benefits of using case studies and provide tips for implementation. Further, we describe functional examples of a three-step process to prepare cases with defined outcomes for individual student preparation, collaborative learning, and individual student synthesis to create an inclusive learning experience, whether in a traditional or remote learning environment.

适应案例研究的三个步骤，用于同步和异步在线学习。

大流行SARS-CoV-2引起了人们对科学的重新关注，同时教育方式也发生了快速变化。尽管技术提供了多种传达学习资源的方式，但对于设计课程的人来说，替代模式的引入可能会令人生畏。我们提出了一些策略，允许快速调整课程设置，以在同步，异步或混合学习环境中实现学习。案例研究是一种让学生参与现实场景的方法，该场景将概念与背景联系起来并突出显示生命科学中的应用。虽然案例研究通常可用并且适合课程目标，但是有关如何在在线和混合环境中交付和评估案例的实际考虑可能会引起恐慌。在这里，我们回顾了现有资源以及我们在创建，调整，并评估不同形式的案例材料。我们讨论了使用案例研究的好处，并提供了实施技巧。此外，我们描述了一个三步过程的功能示例，该过程为传统的或远程学习环境中的个人学生准备，协作学习和个人学生合成准备了具有定义结果的案例，以创建包容性的学习体验。
