Abstract :
Effective collaborative learning is essential for management education. Interpersonal skills are particularly important. A computer mediated communication system, augmented with virtual classroom (R) software, was used in conjunction with a micro-computer based management game. Results of the experiment, in terms of game performance, and student group learning experience, were encouraging. Further experimentation is needed to firmly establish the significance of this experiential learning method
