DG Communications Networks, Content & Technology by
Web-based instruction has several advantages over traditional classroom learning such as reduced costs, increased accessibility, and improvements in learning. There are three levels of web use in courses - from simply posting materials online to fully online courses where students and teachers only interact via the internet. Studies show that web-based instruction can be as effective as computer-based instruction if used properly to achieve learning objectives. While still early, web-based instruction appears to be achieving a level of effectiveness comparable to computer-based instruction.
The professor discusses the benefits of studying for an online MBA at EU Business School. She notes that the flexibility of online learning allows busy students an opportunity to complete an accredited degree from anywhere using their mobile phone. Students gain exposure to expert professors from many countries and disciplines. They also benefit from developing self-discipline skills and a global network of fellow students from over 20 represented countries. The professor sees online education increasing to represent 50% of educational offerings within 10 years as it provides personalized instruction and attention from world-class faculty available globally.

more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

education
2. Review the value proposition of what we
offer as business schools
3. Extend accessibility to new students /
segments / markets
4. Elaborate and expensive content
marketing
7. 4. Elaborate and expensive content
marketing
• Institutional halo effect? Hmm…
• Loss leader, free sample?
• Bait and switch?
9. 3. Extend accessibility to new students /
segments / markets
• Stop comparing online and in-class
• Voltaire on iPOD’s and online learning
• What are our assets? Competencies?
• Disruption versus extension
10. 2. Review the value proposition of what we
offer as business schools
• Drucker’s prediction in 1997
• How do we add value? Link to format?
• How do want people learn (versus how do
we want teach)?
11. 1. Elevate the discussion around technology-enabled
education
• From the doghouse to the spotlight
• Category halo effect: from credibility to
validation
• Experimentation
• Operational demands (LMS, “log-in”
faculty, licensure, accreditation, …)
12. AMBA’s 7-Point List & Tech-Enabled Learning
