From July 21st to July 26th, I attended the 2024 edition of the Harvard Business School’s Global Colloquium on Participant-Centered Learning. This program is proposed to management faculty from partner business schools all over the world to rethink their teaching methods and improve their effectiveness as educators.
ESSEC selected me to participate alongside my colleague Rick Marchese. I was excited to learn from some of the best educators. I did not know exactly how I would be impacted by this program. How much would it change my views and practices as an educator at ESSEC?

ESSEC’s Knowledge-Lab (K-lab) has recently been equipped with a lightboard. This technological tool is mainly used for teaching purposes, in particular to create educational videos and interactive lessons.
A transparent glass panel backlit by a LED light integrated into the screen, the teacher can write or draw on it using fluorescent markers.
These writings and presentations are then visible and recorded by a camera positioned on the other side of the board. This innovative device makes it possible to record educational videos while facing the audience.

How was your experience ? Did you enjoy it ?
First experiences are always special. I loved it. It was a double challenge for me since it was my first teaching experience as an instructor and in a country that I have never been before (Singapore). However, it turned out to be a great time since I had a chance to meet and exchange ideas with many bright students in finance, professionals in industry and academics based in Singapore.

What if we added a touch of imagination to the Business School classic blend of data analysis, case discussions and presentations? Picture learners engaging with management principles through cinema or discovering decision-making through movement. As a professor of management practice, I’ve found that integrating artistic learning approaches like theater, dance, and socio-drama has brought new vigor and profounder learning to my learners.
