A Multiple Case Design for the Investigation of Information Management Processes for Work-Integrated Learning
Brink, Roelien
International Journal of Work-Integrated Learning, v19 n3 p223-235 2018
The different learning offerings provided by various faculties have unique and diverse procedures which justify different work-intgrated learning (WIL) approaches. A lack of structure regarding the information management for WIL across departmental silos, results in different processes being followed. Frameworks for the information management of WIL have been developed at international higher education institutions over long periods of time, which have evolved into good practice benchmarks. In order to answer the research question 'how can information be managed to facilitate the WIL process for various faculties at a higher education institution?', three higher education institutions were studied, two in America and one in South Africa. The primary focus of these multiple-case studies was to determine how information can be managed to facilitate the WIL process for various faculties at a higher education institution. The research approach and design of the study is discussed in terms of the methodological contribution.
