abstract

  • A practical experience using electronic debates in the Area of Industrial Organization has been developed. The Harvard case method (HBS) was used with students of different nationalities, over 5 years (2007-2012). The analysis of test records and data from student surveys allow to conclude that the discussion forums, such as alternative to traditional classroom learning methodology, significantly improve learning in the area of Industrial Organization.
