Videoconferencing Technology
Innovation in Real Time
Sophisticated technology is key to the Cornell-Queen's Executive MBA Program. Interactive. Seamless. The most advanced videoconferencing platform in the world. An exciting, proven way to learn.
An International Classroom
Boardroom sessions are delivered by state-of-the-art, real-time, interactive videoconferencing - an exciting learning technology that offers opportunities unavailable in a traditional classroom. This technology is used to link Boardroom Learning Teams located in selected cities in the United States and Canada. The result is a highly interactive learning environment.
Flexibility Without Compromise
The Cornell-Queen's Executive MBA is among the most flexible programs anywhere. For most people, the fact that it is offered in so many locations means that you don't have to leave your home city to attend. It also means that when your business takes you on the road, you may attend class with a Boardroom Learning Team in the city you are visiting. In addition, if you are required to relocate during the program, you may be able to join a team in your destination city. In this way, the program offers you great flexibility that does not compromise the core values of a Cornell MBA experience, such as close interaction with your classmates and an integrated curriculum.
State-of-the-art Videoconference Technology
When viewing our videoconference system for the first time, most people are struck by the high-quality sound and picture, as well as the high degree of real-time interactivity. The system produces video at 30 frames per second and first-rate audio. Professors lead the class from custom-designed broadcast studios located on the Cornell and Queen's campuses. The system facilitates a highly intimate interaction between the professor and the learning teams, as well as between the teams themselves. A mute button allows teams to carry on internal discussions during class and break-out sessions without disrupting the other teams. At any time, participants can signal the professor that they have a question or comment. Each boardroom is equipped with Internet and laptop connections, allowing the ability to make professional presentations to the class.
