Abstract
When considering the influence of technology on Business Schools' curricula, the main focus tends to concentrate on course delivery and, to a lesser extent, on course design. In this chapter, we suggest that it is necessary to align course design and delivery with at least two other dimensions; namely the impact of technology on assessments and on course content, in order to provide students with a coherent and comprehensive learning experience. We begin the chapter by presenting ideas from earlier scholarly and practitioner resources that concern the impact of technology across the three pillars of pedagogy, assessment, and content. Following, we propose a framework to capture the student learning journey and identify ways in which technological solutions may assist institutions and faculty in their efforts. Finally, we address some challenges associated with a technologically infused curriculum and offer recommendations for not only overcoming them but for turning them into opportunities.
