Real-life business experience over the internet - Tim Dodd, Financial Review

A key feature of Intersective’s Practera platform was that it let ­students “engage with real companies and real company issues”, Professor Wailes said. “Students go on to the ­platform, they get involved in brainstorming and discussion, then they form teams and work through business plans,” he said. “It has the potential to allow us to bring real world experiential learning into the online domain. Our students get to learn by doing.” The two new initiatives are in pilot form and, if successful, will become a permanent part of the master of ­business and technology degree in 2015. http://www.afr.com/p/national/education/real_life_business_experience_over_nhh0Ry4nDuYRl4VQODvIdL
