We have finally set up the website for BUAD 220: Emerging Technologies in Business. Why do we need this website? While students registered for the course will primarily use the internal Canvas site for course-related activities—such as accessing reading materials, assignment instructions, and grades for quizzes, homework, and exams—this course is unique in its reliance on regular collaboration with experts from other disciplines and industry. Therefore, we need a platform to support more flexible communication and idea sharing.
Therefore, on this website, we will share information designed to engage not only our students but also anyone interested in emerging technologies and their applications. Our team of instructors will regularly post ideas and insights here. Additionally, our corporate partners and guest speakers will be invited to share their perspectives on topics that our students are eager to explore further.
As a starting point, in this post, we (Charles, Russ, and Ken) would like to share a brief summary of how this course was developed. We hope our story will help you better understand our motivation and goals in offering this course to undergraduate business students.
