Overview

Driven by rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence and educational digitalization, higher education worldwide is undergoing a profound transformation. The rise of generative AI has fundamentally shifted knowledge acquisition, classroom dynamics, and learning behaviors. As standard answers become readily accessible, the core value of higher education increasingly rests on cultivating critical thinking, contextual analysis, public decision-making, and cross-cultural collaboration in complex scenarios.

In this evolving landscape, the case teaching method serves as a vital bridge connecting theory with practice, and classrooms with real-world public challenges. To explore the frontiers of case teaching, case development, and English-mediated instruction, the School of Public Policy and Management (SPPM) at Tsinghua University is proud to host the 2026 Workshop on Case Teaching Innovation: Global Classrooms and Learning Transformation in the Age of AI.

Featured Speaker

This year’s workshop features a series of specialized modules led by Professor Arnold Howitt alongside experienced faculty members from Tsinghua SPPM. Prof. Arnold Howitt is the Founder and Co-Director of the Program on Crisis Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS). As a leading international proponent of case-based learning in public management, Professor Howitt brings extensive global expertise in participatory learning, public leadership pedagogy, and global classroom design.
