Teaching in extended EMBA sessions presents unique opportunities and challenges for faculty. How do you keep students engaged over three or six hours? How can you structure learning to optimize retention, participation, and real-world application? And just as importantly, how can you sustain engagement during the two-week gaps between sessions?
In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore research-backed active learning strategies tailored for longer class formats. Using examples from exemplary CBS courses, we’ll discuss effective ways to design sessions that balance content delivery with dynamic, student-centered learning. We’ll also cover strategies for maintaining engagement between class meetings, including pre-class preparation, post-class reflection, and asynchronous activities that keep students connected to course content.
