"All SUNY, CUNY schools shifting to online learning to combat coronavirus"

My observation: The Wuhan Coronavirus and its Covid-19 illness are creating a watershed moment in how people meet, conduct business, and learn. I doubt we will return fully to prior behaviors after this settles.

Breaking News (from The Buffalo News)

"All state university campuses will shut down on March 19 to try to reduce density levels of students who could spread the novel coronavirus among people on and off college grounds.

"The remaining weeks of the spring semester for the 64-campus State University of New York will be offered through online course work, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo said Wednesday afternoon.

"'That will be a way to reduce density and that’s a good thing,' Cuomo said.

"The order will also affect the City University of New York system."

University at Buffalo classroom design for experiential learning

1/31/2019

0 Comments

 
Because all of the courses I teach involve team-based project work, it can be frustrating to have a classroom designed in the old lecture style, with arcs of fixed chairs and tables. Students have to contort themselves to work in teams. Increasingly, universities and colleges have begun to design classrooms with movable tables and chairs. This enables students to regroup in their teams quickly - and comfortably.

I am very happy that the classroom in the University at Buffalo School of Management Jacobs Building, where I currently teach the capstone Fundamentals of Strategic Management course, has chair-desk combos that can be rolled into team configurations quickly. The only challenge we will face is that the room is full, so students will need to sit in groups at the start of class, or shift to new desks when the team project work begins.

"What to expect for the global economy in 2019"
World Economic Forum, January 11, 2019

I am preparing course content for five college business sections that I'll teach this spring semester, starting this coming Monday. Two sections' subjects are undergraduate strategic management. One section's subject is graduate strategic management. The two remaining graduate sections are regional business in the pacific rim and a section on the global competitive framework. 

There is so much going on globally, both politically and economically, that we will never be at a loss for current news to support and illustrate the material we are studying. I just added this World Economic Forum summary article to the required reading for all five courses.

The article is available on the World Economic Forum website at:
