Description

Information technology (IT) has become rapidly accepted as a complement or substitute of the traditional learning setting, hence challenging Management education. This research examines the impact of IT platforms on Management education using the case method. We theorize that traditional learning platforms may enable instructors to engage students to increase learning performance, which in turn leads to a greater student satisfaction. Social media applications (i.e., social media for teaching activities) may amplify the relationships between traditional learning platforms, student engagement, learning performance, and student satisfaction. Using the variance-structural equation modeling technique, and the partial least squares method of estimation on a combination of survey and secondary data from 94 Spanish students from a Management course, the empirical analysis gives support to our theory.
