Conditional Release Technologoes

Learning management systems have come a long way since Sir Isaac Pitman initiated the first correspondence course in the early 1840s. Today, the demands of globalization call for new and innovative learning systems for enhancing graduate management education. One approach for meeting these challenges is through the increased use of learning management systems, in general, and conditional release technologies (CRT), in particular. The primary aim of CRTs is to distribute knowledge in small and more management learning packages based on student performance and characteristics.  Intelligent tutors provide the vehicle for helping identify the appropriate material. A CRT project has been initiated using Sakai's LMS. The results to date from student feedback and test scores appear promosing.
