“A survey of students of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania found that 97 percent rated the school’s web-based virtual
meeting application — dubbed web Cafe — as valuable to their education
experience.
Since Wharton began using webCafe in 1998 as part of the school’s student intranet, use of webCafe has expanded to 5,200 users, 99 percent of full-time MBA candidates, all executive MBA students, and almost all Wharton undergraduates. webCafe is one component of Wharton’s plan to reshape its business education.
The school’s Alfred West Jr. Learning Lab is exploring methods of learning and instruction using interactive multimedia and real-time simulations. This August, it is opening Jon M. Huntsman Hall, which Wharton claims will be the largest and most sophisticated instructional technology center at any business school.”
