Critical Incidents: Videotape & Guidebook - A Teaching Development Resource

British Columbia: University of Victoria, 1993.
A critical incident is a condensed variation of the traditional case study method: a useful tool for analyzing typical work related challenges and developing action principles. The Critical Incidents tape contains a series of ten vignettes which take place in a university or college setting and which demonstrate problem issues for faculty and teaching assistants. In each case there is a brief (3-4 minute) encounter which raises issues for group discussion and resolution.

Critical Incidents II: Close Encounters of the Academic Kind

British Columbia: University of Victoria, 1997.

Each segment consists of a brief introduction followed by a situation or event that is recreated by actors. No preferred solution is presented - it is intended that ideas will emerge from group discussion of each incident. While most incidents are related to a specific discipline, the issues are generic and likely to be familiar to most viewers.
