Blog Board
|
|
|
Based on our market research, many MBA graduates crave the high-level
interaction and intellectual debate that is central to a classroom-based
MBA. The blog board was designed to re-create this debate online, by
allowing you to interact through comments with other members of the MBA
community. Both MBA alumni and current students can create blog boards
and/or comment on them.
The following features use the same basic blogging functionality:
-
Blogs: these allow you to interact with other users about topical issues in which you have a common interest;
-
Discussion Boards: you can post your business challenges and other issues on a discussion board, and other users can respond with their comments/advice as to how they would resolve the challenges. This encourages inter-industry thinking and ongoing learning. It helps those of you who are MBA graduates to stay current across industries. Also, those of you entrepreneurs starting businesses on your own can use it to bounce ideas off and brainstorm with other members of the MBA community, so it means you’re not alone on your entrepreneurial journey.
Users who comment on a blog board can become part of each other’s
networks. The blog boards are searchable, so that you can find topics
that interest you. They are also filterable – this means that, if you
create a closed-group blog board, it will only be visible to those users
that you select to take part (and will be closed to the rest of the MBA
community).

Also, only those users in the closed-group can comment in
that closed blog board. So, if you are a current student for example,
you can create a closed-group blog to interact with your MBA syndicate
about an assignment. Or, if you are an MBA graduate, you can set up a
closed-group blog to interact with your MBA classmates who graduated from
the same business school as you. However, although they can be very
useful, closed-group blogs can limit your ability to interact and
network with others in the MBA community, because they are accessible to
a few selected members only.
