The Pedagogical and Institutional Impact of Disruptive Innovations in Distance Business Education
Estelami, Hooman
American Journal of Business Education, v10 n3 p97-108 2017
The use of distance learning methods by universities has experienced significant growth over the past two decades. While this growth has been witnessed nearly equally across the various academic disciplines, it represents unique opportunities in business education. In this article we will profile how technological innovations in distance learning have historically caused disruptive changes in business education. The article then profiles three specific distance learning technologies that are emerging as revolutionary forces in changing business education. The impact of these technologies will be examined from both a pedagogical perspective and an institutional perspective. The influence of these educational technologies in addressing the unique needs of business students will also be discussed.
