Team-Based Learning

Queen's uses a team-base learning approach to create a highly supportive and collaborative learning experience – both inside and outside the classroom. Learning teams are formed at Opening Session and remain together for the duration of the program.

Each team is comprised of 6 to 8 team members, with an emphasis on diversity of background.
Teams function just as they would in the workplace, drawing on the skills and experience of each team member. Team members work together on assignments and projects, greatly enhancing the learning experience.
This approach provides valuable opportunities for each student to develop and hone critical team skills while in the program. Furthermore, it provides the opportunity to learn not only from your professors, but also from your teammates and classmates.

Queen's provides dedicated Team Performance Coaches who work with the teams, leading them through team-building and teamwork enhancing exercises. They maintain close contact throughout the program to ensure that teams continue to operate efficiently and effectively.

On Campus Sessions

There are three on-campus sessions during the program which account for approximately 50% of your class hours.

Opening Session at the beginning of the program (2 weeks)
Global Business Session in the Spring (1 week)
Strategic Marketing Session in the Fall (1 week)

These sessions are held at the Queen's Donald Gordon Conference Centre, featuring comfortable, private guestrooms, outstanding food, exceptional customer service and a breadth of amenities.

On-campus sessions are intense and productive, providing excellent opportunities for networking. Our program staff organizes numerous events and activities to ensure that your experience includes a healthy blend of work and recreation.

The balance of your class time will be spent in your Boardroom Learning Centre, conveniently located in your home city. These class sessions are held all day Sunday and Monday morning, every other week. The classes are delivered via real-time, interactive videoconference technology.

Queen's has been utilizing and perfecting this technology for more than 16 years. Multi-point videoconference is used to link Learning Teams in major cities across the country. Professors lead the class from purpose-built studios on the Queen's campus. Students are able to communicate directly with the professor and with the other teams.

Electronic Community

Students use the customized program portal and electronic network to communicate with professors and classmates outside of class. The network allows you to use your time more effectively. You will be able to download course notes, e-mail, chat, or up-load assignments from anywhere at any time.
