Subject: Staging/ theatric approaches in entrepreneurship courses
Dear colleagues,
I am currently rethinking my teaching approaches in entrepreneurship- = and research methodology courses.
Reading through literature, I stumbled upon staging and theatric = approaches, and found out that I am already using some of these to = motivate students and help them focus. Small issues, such as ambient = lights, the use of various media, story telling, sound and haptic = effects, artificial pauses etc. are all seen as valuable means.
Therefore my question and invitation to you all, please comment on whether and how you are using such effects in our own = teaching and whether you can recommend any corresponding literature or = courses.
kind regards,
Othmar Lehner
