HBX Becomes "Harvard Business School Online"
#4
(06-17-2019, 01:51 PM)posabsolute Wrote: I followed how HBX started and honestly like how they first position it: How can we provide the HBS experience online. if you look at their live sessions it's a pretty amazing setup, they may have created the "magic" missing from online courses, especially for executive education.

However, HBS online courses now trend toward offline video only with a forum participation, they pumped out a lot of new certificates without live sessions, which I think is kind of a shame, it has become just another online certificate platform with nothing special but the name.

I think you're right- and sadly this is the case with almost every online course out there from any university. The ONLY live online classes I ever took were through Harvard Extension (not HBX) and I have yet to find a community college that offers any. I think people THINK they want asynchronous learning (you can find old threads here about Luna CC, people losing their mind at the audacity of requiring students to be online at a specific time) but in reality, it absolutely adds a sense of depth that you're otherwise missing. My son's algebra course was live this year (zoom) and it was great - I will use that program every year moving forward.
