Using information technology to add value to
management education. Academy of Management
Journal. 40 (6,) 1,310 1,333.   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 significantly add to the
citations that currently exist in the literature.

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.
19
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.
20
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 full-mast, and
standard hygienic practices required for
acceptable assimilation into a crowded room.
