Appendix A.
Case studies research design
The “educational innovation stories” reconstructed in our eight case studies are necessarily limited in terms of numbers, contexts and time – so we chose to include this Appendix to complement them with additional stories contributed over time by users of this e-book. While this Appendix includes only a selection of the stories we have been able to collect to date, you can find the entire collection in the Stories section of the accompanying website – where you can also more easily sort through the available items using tags.
We encourage you to contribute to this growing collection of stories by submitting your own, following the directions provided in these “Guidelines for Contributions” to ensure consistency.
