The heck with tech: Teaching Like a Luddite

Keywords: Technology-free, Simplicity, Luddite

Abstract: In this session, the facilitators present their (hopefully) compelling argument for taking a step back from the technology infused classrooms that are prevalent across collegiate management programs. Technology is clearly part and parcel of the management education landscape both in practice and research; for instance, a current call for papers in a special issue of the Journal of Management Education focuses on technology as a tool, topic and differentiator in management education. The facilitators of this session encourage attendees to consider reverting to a simpler time, and provide students with a simple, yet effective technology-free, experientially-focused classroom.
