Dear Colleagues,
Tired of Pokémon Go?!
You are cordially invited to participate in our PDW session: The Use of
Technology and Mobile Apps to Teach Corporate Sustainability on
Saturday, Aug 6 2016 12:00PM - 2:00PM at Anaheim Marriott in Platinum
Ballroom 10
Teaching Corporate Sustainability (CS) or any other management topic
using innovative approaches is a challenge for management professors all
around the world. Students are now very familiar with technology and the
use of different types of learning tools. In addition, the recent boom
of smart phones and mobile apps for all sort of daily activities, not
only for entertainment but also as part of the studying tasks may create
opportunities to teach some CS topics using apps. There are now mobile
apps to teach children how to read or math fluency, to learn new
languages, or to train the brain of our senior population. Similarly,
the development of mobile apps that focuses on sustainability issues,
both environmental and social has emerged in recent times. For this
reason, this PDW aims to explore this new trend by assessing the
appropriability of using mobile apps to teach Corporate Sustainability
(CS). One of the main goals of this PDW is to improve our teaching
methods by including new methodologies able to motivate and enable our
students to become agents of change. The outcome of this PDW is to
develop a guideline for CS mobile apps that can be used in the classroom
to teach different CS topics.
Each participant will analyze the use of two mobile apps by applying
them in any of the topics covered in their CS courses; and they will
work in sub-groups to develop a guideline to teach different CS themes
using those analyze apps. During the PDW, each sub-group will present
their draft guidelines in a large group setting. Aside from developing
the report and sharing ideas, this is also a networking session and we
will meet up together at one of the AOM socials later. The workshop
format will give participants the opportunity to connect and interact
with one another in order to make the workshops a meaningful experience.
Safe travels and looking forward to seeing you in Anaheim,
