Therefore, if possible, an authentic background story should be formulated in the design of the case study. The choice of a company, for example, which offers products or services, which meet the wide interest of VCL-users (e.g. chocolate factory), is recommended. It is also important that the problem situation presented in such complex learning situation relates to the participants’ knowledge and experience and is of particular relevance to avoid a possible overload or poor motivation. \\  \\ The content of the background story should be accessible for all members at any time by uploading the documents on the learning platform.
