TECHNOLOGY-BASED PROGRAM AT SENECA COLLEGE CUTS
CLASS TIME BY UP TO 80 PERCENT
In an experimental program at Canada's largest
business school, technology reduced time spent on class
segments from 10 hours to as little as two hours. The
20 students in a pilot class used standard palmtops, TV
display, free Internet "ObjectWare" recitations, and
communications training supporting home access for
interactive, student-based exercises in business
management. The pilot far exceeded projected
productivity increases of 30 percent, and techniques
will be scaled up for the whole business school.
