When AI Enters the Classroom: Transforming Case-Based Learning
WEBINAR
Online
June 23, 2026
AI is reshaping how students engage with case-based learning, from preparation to in-class discussion. As students increasingly arrive with AI-generated analysis, this session examines how case-based teaching and decision-making are evolving in an AI-enabled learning environment.
Join our panelists, Yasser Rahrovani, Associate Professor of Digital Innovation (Ivey Business School) and Euvin Naidoo, Distinguished Professor of Global Accounting, Risk and Agility (Thunderbird School of Management) as they discuss how faculty can continue to develop critical thinking, judgment, and analytical depth while maintaining cognitive engagement and real-world readiness. The session also considers the evolving role of faculty as educators and facilitators, as AI increasingly supports analysis and synthesis in the classroom.

Meet Our Panelists
Yasser Rahrovani
Associate Professor of Digital Innovation
Ivey Business School
Yasser's research explores the intersection of technology, design, and innovation. He researches how emerging digital technologies—especially artificial intelligence (AI)—transform organizations, work, and expertise. His work examines the evolving interplay between design intentions, user practices, and AI’s own agency, with a particular interest in governance, human–AI interactions, and the paradoxes these systems create. Yasser’s scholarship bridges theory and practice, spanning topics such as platform governance, digital drifting, and the ethical challenges of AI in sensitive domains like healthcare and public services.
Yasser also designs innovative learning experiences for executives, graduate students, and youth. He is the creator of Fundamentals of AI for Business (FunAI), a hands-on course for non-technical learners. He pioneers the use of comic-based case studies and podcasts to engage diverse audiences in complex topics. His teaching draws on real-world cases, interdisciplinary perspectives, and experiential exercises to prepare leaders to navigate the opportunities and risks of AI-driven transformation.
