Technology Course Transformation: A New View
Abstract
Failure to provide creative, innovative and transformative business education is having an impact on college and university enrolment and retention. In an article posted on foxbusiness.com, Adam Newman, managing partner at Education Growth Advisors states; “Colleges that fail to focus on supporting, and frankly exceeding the academic needs and expectations of students will do so at their peril given the increasing number of plausible alternatives emerging” (Driscoll, 2013). In order to meet and exceed student expectations, college and university classrooms must accommodate and encourage use of innovative learning technologies and embrace the learning styles of the new generations of students. This article chronicles the transformation of a sophomore level supply chain management course from a traditional lecture classroom setting, to one in which the students are actively engaged in their learning experience.
