Babson’s Hallmark Methodology Taught by Experienced Babson Faculty

At Babson College, entrepreneurship is a way of thinking, acting, and being that combines the ability to identify and create opportunities with the courage to act on them. The Studio for Entrepreneurship Educators in Asia is the only program to utilize this teachable methodology, the Entrepreneurial Thought & Action (ET&A) methodology, designed to help learners embrace and confront uncertainty rather than to avoid it. It emphasizes smart action over planning. It emphasizes moving quickly from the white board to the real world. It’s a method that can be learned and should be practiced.

Learn from leading Babson College thought leaders in the field of entrepreneurial education, like Heidi Neck, as you experience and incorporate the proven Entrepreneurial Thought & Action methodology into your entrepreneurship and innovation programs.

The Innovation Side of Entrepreneurship
Phil Kim

As a former competitive athlete, I envisioned how I may incorporate experiential learning and sports’ teachable moments to improve the stickiness of entrepreneurship concepts. With the SEE, it is evident how Babson imparts a learner-centered approach: empowering students to discover who they are and what they value, and then propelling them to action by accessing their immediate environment for ideas, networks, and resources.  

Their rock star roster of faculty hand-holds you through the entire cycle of teaching venture creation, which culminates in the students’ capstone practicum. And hearing our professors having ‘been there and done that’ in entrepreneurship pedagogy was the most reassuring of all. Truly, the Babson SEE is an educator training like no other.”

How and when will I have access to the course materials?

Course materials are provided via Canvas, Babson’s online learning portal. Materials will be made available to participants approximately one to seven days prior to the first live online session, depending on the amount of pre-work that participants are expected to complete in advance.

Where can I find the schedule for the days and times of the live online sessions?

The schedule will be sent to registered participants in the registration confirmation email (see the link in your confirmation email to the EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW document).

Do I need to join the virtual sessions live? Will they be recorded?

We highly recommend that participants join the live online sessions. It is an opportunity to ask questions, participate in rich discussion, and learn from the experience of your program peers. Session recordings will not consistently be available, and as such, it is expected that participants engage live in the virtual sessions.

What technology do you use for the live online programs?

  • Canvas, Babson’s online learning portal—course calendar, readings, pre-work, faculty bios, presentations and post-session recordings are posted here.
  • Video-conferencing Platform—we will use a virtual meeting application (like Webex or Zoom) that allows you to see and communicate with other participants simultaneously and in real time. Your instructor can share documents and interactive media, invite participants to share content, and engage with you in real-time participation. Links to sessions and more information will be provided on Canvas.

What do I need to participate? How do I prepare for the live online sessions?

Live sessions will be delivered via WeChat and Zoom. 

Prior to each virtual session, please ensure you are prepared with the following:

  1. A computer/laptop with a webcam (built-in or external camera) for optimal viewing, but you may also join from a tablet or cellphone.
  2. Internet connection or cell hotspot 
  3. Operating system: Windows: 7,8.1, or 10; Apple: OS 10.9 or higher
  4. Recommended browsers for optimal experience: HIGHLY RECOMMEND Google Chrome. Internet Explorer 11, Firefox 52, Safari 11 are not as optimal but should work as well. (Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10, and Safari 7 are not recommended.) 
  5.  Headset with microphone (recommended but optional)
  6. Test your connection, audio and microphone by joining a Zoom test meeting.

What happens if I have technical issues?

Additional, detailed instructions will be provided on Canvas. Babson staff will be online and available to assist you, and will identify themselves during each live online delivery. Contact the staff via the chat function for help, or email them if needed. Contact information is available in the EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW document.

How long will I have access to the online materials?

Course materials on Canvas will be available for six months following the completion of the program.
