| Distance courses offered or planned | Ivey is currently teaching an Executive MBA using video-conferencing technology and it believes that non-degree programs could easily adapt this technology for either some or all of the program delivery. The school thinks that there could be opportunities to incorporate the Internet as a learning medium for some non-degree programs, but at this stage it would likely be a supplement to delivery and not the exclusive source. |
