“…Tewari and Ilesanmi (2020) report that less than 15% of the youth in South Africa gain access to higher education institutions and less than 50% of these students complete their study programmes. Academic literacy abilities such as adapting to the academic environment, searching for academic information effectively, understanding academic texts, analysing and processing information successfully and strategically, as well as producing an academic text responsibly and appropriately, have been proven to be essential for students' academic success (Sayani et al, 2017). WIReD was designed to aid students with their academic literacy development so that they could function effectively in the academic environment, and would thus contribute to the goal of "access with success" (DHET, 2018).…”

As a lecturer at a higher education institution in South Africa, the author is conscious of an emphasis placed on multimodal resources as part of the globally experienced shift to teach remotely due to the COVID-19 epidemic. In this autoethnographic study, she critically reflects on her experience in planning and executing the implementation of a custom-made multimodal resource called WIReD. WIReD is an acronym for writing, information literacy and reading development. She situates academic literacy and WIReD within the theoretical framework of multiliteracies, and thereafter provides background in terms of the study context and gives a brief description of WIReD. The methodology section includes the data used, a brief discussion on validity, reliability, and the reflexive process. The data analysis led to two broad categories of implementation inhibitors, namely inadequate resources and collaboration. These hindrances highlight broader issues with regard to institutional management, lecturers, and the needs of students in the South African higher education context.

“…Keeping in view the above discussion, it is evident that there is harmony between scholars, learners, and educators regarding the effectiveness of the case method. The literature on evaluation of case study competition is sparse; the most related work was conducted by Sayani et al (2017). However, their research scope was only limited to undergraduate students in the United Arab Emirates, and the study solely targeted the general case competition.…”

Case study competition is an effective tool used in higher educational institutions to augment students’ learning experience. Although many studies have explored this phenomenon in business and management discipline, no study has been conducted in agribusiness yet. The current research is conducted to explore students’ perceptions towards agribusiness case study based on cognitive ability, affective ability and development ability. It further explores how cultural difference, students’ discipline, and training experience influence participants’ perceived benefits. Using online survey and a face-to-face interview, it selected 65 participants who had the experience of the agribusiness case study competition. According to students perception, it is apparent that culture had shown main effect in all aspects, while discipline only made a significant difference in development ability. The qualitative analysis unveiled that students preferred to be trained by advisors belonging to field of agricultural economics and management, and are enthusiastic to deal with the real business world issues, and also hold experience of past competitions. Based on these findings, this study may provide guidelines to educators and organizers to improve the case study method of learning and teaching, and efficiently planned the strategies required for competition.
