The technology is extraordinary; unlike anything I’ve experienced in other remote settings. And the attention to detail the HBS Live Online Classrooms team brings to each session elevates the experience even further. It’s been a game-changer for us.

What impressed me most was the innovation and scale of the effort to create a personalized experience where you have dedicated screens and microphones...Rather than feeling that you're wasting time in front of a screen, you feel immersed in it.

One other comment I heard from students was that this was an experience they could get nowhere else. Nowhere else would they have exposure to the state-of-the-art studio with a world-class staff, with the support, with the levels of practice.

Stepping into the HBS Live Online Classrooms is like stepping into a futuristic Aldrich classroom, backed by a team of engineers and coordinators who seamlessly and unobtrusively bring the classroom experience to life for participants and ensure smooth sailing for the professor. You can focus fully on engaging the participants in a case discussion as you would in any on-campus classroom, but with participants joining from around the world.
