The best way to address this question is to consider Case Study for 2010 **Healthcare in an East African Country** (see below - Essential Documents)and develop a plan for a class of ITGS students considering the resources that are available to them. Add to the following:

• analyze the case study in terms of all parts of the triangle: scenario and the issue(s), stakeholders, IT systems, social and ethical considerations (balance of impacts, issues and their possible solutions)

• conduct preliminary secondary research relating to the scenario

• formulate questions to be research through secondary research (ITGS teachers may want to create a wiki or other method for student collaboration)

• discuss strategies for conducting primary research

• collect information from reliable sources for primary research that can be aligned with the secondary reseach (i.e. first-hand experiences, interviews, investigatons, surveys)

• check that information has been collected and analyzed from a range of secondary and primary research that reflects different perspectives/different locations

• determine what additional information emerged from the primary research (real situations) that requires further research or investigation

• summarize the findings from all sources into a logical sequence of questions and responses

• provide practice testing situations for student to respond to sample questions and write responses for feedback

**Case Study Wikis**
 Another strategy is to use a wiki for structuring the study of the case study and recording the results. It provides for a collaborative environment either amongst a class of ITGS students or with ITGS students other IB schools. Examples of Wikis for past case studies:
 * M09/N09 N&Q Investments wiki at[| http://casestudy-itgs.wikispaces.com]
 * **M10/N10 Healthcare wiki** at http://ITGS-casestudy-2010.wikispaces.com
 * (NB please contact me if you would like to be involved in this wiki with your students - achurches@kristin.school.nz)
