Abstract:
This article provides a case study approach to using distance learning methodologies in
management education. The author presents information concerning web-based enhancement of
traditional classroom courses, as well as complete courses offered in online formats. The article
begins with a thorough literature review of research in the field of distance learning in general,
which identifies various learning modes that include interactive television, real time video
conferencing, web-based asynchronous courses, live television broadcast and pre-taped video
courses. The author then presents an argument for using the asynchronous web-based delivery
method and describes two case studies in which the method was successfully implemented in
management schools. The article finally draws conclusions and implications for the future of
desktop distance learning methodologies.
Opinion:
Distance learning initiatives started becoming popular during 1997, with more than 148
business schools offering various forms of coursework through this learning methodology. It is my
opinion that the delivery method will continue in popularity as campuses create virtual colleges to
augment their traditional appearance. The future of technology will provide new and improved
desktop capabilities that will enhance the experience of the distance learner in a financially
affordable manner. More professors will be trained in the art of acting as virtual instructors,
utilizing learner centered pedagogy to facilitate the process of distance learning. New studies will
Notice:
All written assignments must be submitted by the class start time of the due date. Late
assignments will not be accepted for a grade. There will not be any make-up tests.
There will be no exceptions for the participation grade, which is based on random
attendance audits. It is the responsibility for each student to be self-directed in the
pursuit of course activities. There are no exceptions for missed presentations.
Individuals who do not present at their appointed times will not be awarded
presentation grade points. There are no exceptions for any missed assignment for any
reason to include, but not limited to perceptions of benefits afforded to other students.
You are responsible for yourself and your only comparison is to yourself. You are
responsible for determining any content that was presented during a missed class
session. The professor is responsible for presenting material at designated times. It is
not the responsibility of any faculty representative to repeat or remediate information
due to student absences. It is the responsibility of the student to track individual
course progress. Feedback for assignments is usually available on the next class session
from the assignment due date. Students are responsible for knowing the point values
for every assignment and to record and tabulate their progress through the course. In
the even of a lost hardcopy syllabus, the student is responsible for referring to the
version that exists on the online course information web page as noted on the first page
of this syllabus.
DISABILITIES:
Students with any condition requiring extra support should contact
the appropriate office on campus for assistance.
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
Students are responsible for familiarity with academic policies as set
forth in the Golden Rules (student handbook) without exception.
Violation of any of these policies, in particular any form of direct or
indirect plagiarism will result in failure for the entire course. It is the
responsibility of the student to understand conditions that constitute a
charge of plagiarism. Ignorance of plagiarism is not an excuse.
PROFESSIONAL COURTESY
It is the expectation that all individuals will treat every other
individual with respect and dignity, which includes but is not
limited to: Timely attendance, unobtrusive entry or exit from a
class that is in session, cell phone ringers off, newspapers and
other extraneous reading material closed and stowed, body
language that demonstrates a state of conscious awareness,
attention directed at the designated speaker, eyes open at fullmast, and standard hygienic practices required for acceptable
assimilation into a crowded room.
