A cooperative learning method designed to increase learning and other benefits to participants is presented. Small group problem‐solving from case studies or story narratives provides a way to overcome the limitations of conventional lecture presentations. An example that used a case study in small groups during a breakout session at a scientific conference to improve skills in intervention design and research evaluation is described. © 1996 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
