Mark Radulovich, an MBA gradu
ate student and Webmaster for the
class, designed the structure and
layout for the Web page used by all
the students.
Radulovich said the Web site pro
vided information to the students
from all three countries regarding
topics for class discussion so stu
dents could prepare what they
wanted to communicate during the
video teleconference.
Information used in the class is
also made publicly available via the
Internet so anyone interested in NAF
TA can learn more, and videos of the
class discussions will soon be avail
able on the Internet also.
Radulovich said the technology of
video teleconferencing, e-mail and
chat rooms is an efficient way of dis
persing information.
“We’re doing something that was
totally unthinkable a few years ago,”
he said.
He said the class is a good way for
the three countries to learn together.
“Dr. Eden is really pushing the
envelope of how teaching is done,”
he said.
In addition, students take part in
group simulations and case discus
sions with government policy makers
and business executives from the
three countries. One special guest has
been former President George Bush,
during whose administration the
NAFTA agreement was assigned.
