  • 1.  Teaching entrepreneurship at a distance ?

    Posted 09-03-1999 05:27
    I would be interested in learning about distance-learning and on-line
    projects aimed at training/following etc. entrepreneurs on-line. I've seen
    some stuff at NFTE but it is oriented K-12.

    Many thanks,

    What in particular would you like to know? I am currently teaching
    and have developed a course in entrepreneurship for New
    Hampshire College. The following is a link to the syllabus.

    http://www.dist-ed.nhc.edu/syllabi/adb320-x2205.htm

    The content of the course is delivered through the school's usenet
    system.

    I have been developing and delivering DE courses this way or about
    5 years now so that makes me somewhat prehistoric:). Hope this
    helps you out! I'd be happy to answer any additional questions you
    have.

    One thing I should mention. Although we all want multimedia
    extravaganzas in our delivery, most of my students are connected
    with low bandwidth so usenet is ideal to simulate a classroom (with
    a little imagination, of course). I tend to stay away from web based
    stuff except for the syllabus because I don't want my students to
    be accessing a classroom "out there" and not be able to easily and
    quickly download content. Usenet works on demand which I like...
