A couple articles that have analyzed learning from cases (I'm sure there are more-these are just two projects of which I have personal knowledge.)

Don't know if this would be useful to you or not, but the following article outlines a step-by-step sequence for designing experiences such as cases. Jonassen work is thoughtful and well respected:
