Ivancevich, John M.; Gilbert, Jacqueline A.; Konopaske, Robert
Journal of Management Education, v33 n2 p196-218 2009
Dialogue is arguably one of the most significant elements of learning in higher education. The premise of this article is that online instructors can creatively facilitate dialogue for effectively teaching online management courses. This article presents a dialogue-focused framework for addressing significant behavioral, structural, and technological elements that involve the development and delivery of knowledge and application use (KAU) online management course content. Specifically, the proposed framework and propositions suggest how various antecedents and moderators influence the use of dialogue resources, technology, and student engagement in KAU-type management courses. (Contains 3 tables and 1 figure.)
