The Chronicle of Higher Education Online notes:
"professors at the Hofstra University School of Law have developed a
pretrial-litigation course around an e-mail network. Students communicate
with each other and their faculty supervisors as if they were participants
in actual litigation. A faculty member who leads the course serves in a
series of roles: first as client, then as consultant, judge, reporter, and
activist. The course moves at a much quicker pace than do traditional
classes, and students praise it for the practical experience it provides."

I invite discussion of the use of virtual role-playing in management
courses.
