“…Moreover, their emphasis was more on learning rather than teaching online courses, which is surprising given the relatively well-established links between approaches to and conceptions of teaching and student learning experiences discussed in both general higher education (e.g., Prosser & Trigwell, 2014;Ramsden, 2003) and online management education literature (e.g., Arbaugh, 2000;Arbaugh & Benbunan-Fich, 2006;Arbaugh, DeArmond, & Rau, 2013).…”

This paper explores how part-time students in an online international management course perceived various features of the course learning design and whether international perspectives were built into their learning experiences. The focus of the study was on cross-cultural differences across groups of learners in the United Kingdom, in other European countries and in Russia and studying the course in different languages. Using a mixed method approach, the study's results challenge the distinction between "internationalization at home" and "internationalization away" perspectives on curricula, due to growing numbers of students studying online from their home countries. Study participants reported high degrees of engagement with international perspectives, but their experience can be best described as "internationalization at a distance," where traditional campus-based acculturation effects were not observed. The article concludes with a discussion of opportunities for management 2 Internationalization of the Online Management Curriculum educators to develop a "glocal" approach to online course curriculum design, intentionally blending global perspectives with locally-relevant knowledge and managerial skills.

“…Arbaugh et al., () assessed the progress of research in online education in the field of management and found many areas, including experiential learning, in which the research was limited. They found that online learning formats seem to provide equal learning outcomes across many subjects, including qualitative management classes.…”

“…Some have found no differences (Arbaugh & Benbunan‐Fich, ; Lyke & Frank, ; Weber & Lennon, ), whereas others found that students in online courses perform better than those in traditional face‐to‐face courses (Kraiger et al., ; Lapsley et al., ; Sitzmann et al., ). Although it appears advanced management classes may be a good fit for online learning, little is known about skill building in an online format (Arbaugh et al., ). The next section briefly discusses experiential learning before describing the current study.…”

“…The results are, however, still tentative as many factors remain unexamined (Arbaugh et al., ). One factor that has received scant attention in the literature is the impact of learning delivery method on experiential or skills‐based learning (Arbaugh, DeArmon, & Rau, ). Examples of domains pertinent to skills‐based learning include managing stress, communication, influencing others, problem solving, managing conflict, negotiating, and leading positive change.…”

A Comparison of Learning Outcomes in Skills‐Based Courses: Online Versus Face‐To‐Face Formats

In comparing the learning outcomes of online versus face‐to‐face courses, skills‐based forms of instruction have received little attention. This study asks the question “Can skills‐based courses taught online achieve the same outcomes as face‐to‐face courses in which the instructor and students interacting in real time may have higher levels of interaction, thus potentially facilitating higher levels of skill improvement?” If so, what are the critical success factors that influence these outcomes? These questions are examined by comparing four classes in negotiations (two face‐to‐face and two online) taught by the same professor. The courses were designed to be as similar as possible except for their delivery method. Results indicate that face‐to‐face learners earned higher negotiation outcomes than online learners even when using the same technology. Suggestions are offered for improving outcomes.
