Teach People Skills Totally Online?

Abstract Can people skills effectively be taught solely online? This paper describes the author's experiences in adapting for distance learning an MBA organizational behavior course that had been honed for seventeen years. The most effective strategy involved conducting group exercises and role plays synchronously in the chat room. The Can Do/Cannot Do Survey technique was used to compare the effectiveness of the online format versus the face-to-face format in achieving the specific course objectives.
