Open Education 2017

Providing world-class management education in today's global environment is an ongoing challenge. Web- based Learning Management Systems (LMS) embrace many options for presenting content and interacting with students in both individual and collaborative setting, which thus becomes an important OER asset. LMS based hybrid and online programs are well-suited to meet the changing landscape of management education since they provide instructional content at a time, location and pace convenient to the student. The challenge of student learning assurance represents a key success factor in both hybrid and online programs especially in an open educational context. The purpose of this presentation is to highlight how Web-based systems like LMSs can support the goals and objectives of open education with a special emphasis on sharing, gratitude, and hope.
