Flexible Learning Arrangements: Learning Communities that Transcend Time and Space
SOM faculty member Mary Shapiro's research focuses on women and the use of "flexible work arrangements" (FWA) in the workplace. She wondered if some of the effective practices associated with FWA would be helpful in meeting the needs of her study abroad and evening students -- situations in which traveling to campus is either challenging or even downright impossible. Her redesigned courses now combine on campus work, offsite work, and online work. Come hear Mary discuss her experiences and explore opportunities that this approach holds for similar learning scenarios, including: study abroad, field placement, intensives, and satellite programs.
