The primary goal of this presentation is to demonstrate the use of conditional release technologies in management education. Conditional Release Technologies (CRT), a relatively new addition to Sakai’s tool box, provides the capability of not only distributing customized content based on student performance and characteristics, but also monitoring learning outcomes in a more systematic and objective manner. The results to date reveal both improved student learning outcomes and increased student participation in this virtual learning experience. The Sakai based CRT is designed to distribute knowledge in small and more manageable learning modules based on test performance. The CRT project has been used successfully in a graduate management Analytics course. The findings from this effort suggest that students exposed to CRT learned more and had more confidence about the subject material. These results indicate both the feasibility and effectiveness of CRT as a supplement to traditional teaching methods in management education.
