TECHNOLOGY
Technology improvements in the last three academic years:
The recent completion of our new building, Breeden Hall and the renovation of our other classrooms have brought significant technology enhancements to the teaching environment at Fuqua. New classrooms and auditoriums are now equipped with dual HD screens across the front of the teaching space and feature “Lectopia” recording systems which allow recorded audio, video and VGA presentation material to be uploaded and distributed via streaming or download. The new building includes 28 new team rooms with computers and large flat panel monitors, and we implemented a team room reservation system integrating software with motion sensor equipped displays to show team room availability on student information display panels located throughout the building. Further, new mobile device software now enables wireless synchronization of data between Fuqua’s internal scheduling application and wireless data devices including Palm, BlackBerry, and Pocket PCs. As part of a student sustainability initiative, we also added duplex printing on all network printers throughout the entire MBA Computing Space. We have implemented podcasting with iTunes U and integrated content with a mobile content portal for Fuqua's faculty, staff, and student intranets. Finally we have deployed a custom, social networking tool to enable students to more easily connect with one another based on similar interests and background. In 2009, Fuqua released a new version of the Duke Learning Platform as part of the redesign of The Duke MBA – Cross Continent program. The new version includes numerous web 2.0 technologies that enhance collaboration and the user interface.
