What special skills or equipment is necessary for someone to use online technology for executive education?
Aside from the basic technology of a high-speed Internet connection and a personal computer that is multi-media ready, it is important to know that these programs aren’t for everybody. The two main make-or-break factors for online executive education given that the admission criteria are met are the student’s motivation and ability to manage his or her time effectively. However, in my experience, most successful professionals have mastered both of these skills already. So this technology is not really the primary issue, it’s the enabler.
