The CTE provided partial support to attend this conference and in return, I am reporting some observations. Two of the sessions were a part of the MBA symposium. One session focused on curriculum change and the other focused on orientation to an MBA program. The third session dealt with software technology for teaching. The most interesting session was the session on curriculum change.
Problems always occur due to a rearguard that resists needed changes.
A number of relevant issues were raised. It is important that there be an administrative champion and a faculty champion to support the needed changes. Highlighting the need for change is also important. This can be done by working with external constituencies who champion needed changes. The session on orienting the MBA students was informative.
