Ahead of the curve: how two European universities are rethinking online learning
Building online courses that genuinely engage students takes more than moving content onto a screen. In this live panel, Dr. Neil Greenley from Hertfordshire Business School and Dr. Konstantinos Samiotis from the American College of Greece join host Luke McClelland to share how they got there. Dr. Greenley rebuilt a Global Executive MBA from fewer than 10 student interactions per module to 86. Dr. Samiotis built a fully asynchronous MBA with active learning designed in before the first cohort ever enrolled. Alongside their stories, we'll take a live look at how FeedbackFruits supported both programmes and what the engagement data showed.
What you'll learn
- How Hertfordshire rebuilt their global executive MBA and took student interactions from fewer than 10 to 86 per module
- What it takes to launch a fully asynchronous online MBA with active learning built in from day one and no new student-facing tools
- How to use engagement analytics to identify disengaged students before it shows up in their grades
