A set of case studies is provided in a separate section of this program notebook. Most of them can be used to highlight relevant points from all modules. They provide examples of interface challenges as well as success stories from across the South. Local newspapers are also rich sources of relevant case studies if presenters wish to personalize examples for specific audiences. Discussion questions for the case studies are included in one exercise of each module (i.e., Exercises 1.4, 2.4, 3.6, and 4.7) to facilitate deeper understanding and encourage dialogue about the concepts in each module.
