# CASE Items

## CASE and CaseItems Documentation

This documentation is based on the 1EdTech Standard, providing essential information about CASE and its components, particularly focusing on CaseItems.

### Introduction

The Competencies and Academic Standards Exchange (CASE) provides a standard way to exchange information about learning competencies and standards.

### Key Components

* **CASE**: A framework that allows the packaging of learning standards and competencies in a digitally consumable format.
* **CaseItems**: Building blocks within the CASE framework; these are the nodes that contain information about specific competencies or standards.

### Usage

It is crucial to understand and frequently refer to "CaseItem" as it is the fundamental principle of how learning standards are structured and disseminated using the CASE model.

### References

For more detailed information, refer to the [1EdTech CASE Study Documentation](https://www.imsglobal.org/activity/case).

For examples of standards defined using CASE, refer to [CASE Network Documentation](https://casenetwork.1edtech.com)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.2hourlearning.com/edupaid/important-concepts/case-items.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
