Stanford University and Harvard Business School Explore e-Learning Partnership

There's a lot of talk in the b-school press and current management education books about whether e-learning will ever replace the on-campus b-school experience. No matter how much technology you throw at it, when it comes to management education, on campus education will always be a much more rewarding experience. However, for those doing part-time study, especially those with their MBAs being funded by their employer, e-learning in combination with short-term residencies will eventually become the preferred model. Interestingly, the Stanford/HBS partnership is only looking at non-degree education opportunities at this stage.
