ABSTRACT
This chapter explains why business schools and corporations must accommodate the increasing role of technology in education. Technology, in parallel with developments in cognitive psychology and education sciences, is producing a formidable paradigm shift in the learning process and the mission of educators and, of course, in business schools. Aside from adapting to learners’ circumstances, the integration of technology and teaching brings teachers closer to their students and students closer to one another. ‘Technology frees teachers’ time, allowing them to focus on activities with greater added value for faculty and students alike and enables the so-called phenomenon of “flipping the classroom”. Associating technology-based learning methods with low-quality, cheapness and the massively distributed is an old fashioned and outdated cliche. The future of the learning process is focused on personalised development, seen as an opportunity to stretch and strengthen each individual’s qualities.
