Introduction to Entrepreneurship Online Course

    Hi everyone,

    Like many of you (I'm sure) the demand for our entrepreneurship courses has grown exponentially and we are trying to figure out how to best manage that growth.  Currently in our Introductory course we have 40-45 students which is about the maximum that I can see in order to do pitches and other creative projects.  We are trying to think about how we can manage more students without a proliferation of sections.  One thought is to offer more online sections.  We currently offer one section (up to 70 students) but that too is a large amount of students to manage.  Have any of you offered the introductory course on-line?  How have you managed growth?  Has anyone offered a "lecture/lab" situation (sort of like the sciences do)? 

     

    I would appreciate your thoughts and your feedback!
