Outcome-Driven Experiential Learning MIS Courses in Web 2.0 Environment

چکیده
Experiential learning, an effective method in business and MIS courses, has been limited by instructional formats and teaching resources. But with the advent of Web 2.0 and its rich set of social networking and mass authoring tools, a shift in learning from delivery to experience is forming. In this paper, we propose an experience-based, outcome-driven pedagogical model that is particularly suited for MIS courses at the MBA-level, and offer case studies to exemplify such implementations. We also discuss the advantages and challenges with this model based on our initial experience.
