Online learning proposal

This proposal outlines two innovative initiatives aimed at enhancing the online learning experience for MBA Year 1 students at DCU. First, we introduce a Twitter forum for discussing strategy case studies, encouraging real-time interaction despite potential subscription barriers. Second, we propose using Skype for guest presentations, allowing students to engage with professionals abroad at a low cost and without travel constraints. Additionally, an online Excel lab for IS101 will offer flexible learning opportunities. Each initiative presents unique advantages and challenges, promising to enrich the educational environment.
