چکیده
Framed within the ongoing criticisms of MBA education and within the context of curriculum development, we explore our own learning in the design process and early delivery of a stage 1 module for a distance learning MBA programme. We use reflective dialogue to explore emerging issues of academic expertise, collaborative working and practice-based learning in both our own practice as educators and in the learning journey we have designed for students. In so doing, we emphasise two areas of learning design – the locus of learning and the focus of learning – and make some recommendations for developing learning design that supports practising managers.
