Case Study: Villanova School of Business achieves enhanced collaboration and more efficient Executive MBA classes with SMART Technologies' SMART Board

Technology helps effective managers become executive leaders

Villanova School of Business’ Executive MBA program in Radnor, PA needed a main classroom that supported collaborative learning for cohorts of about 30 students. Faculty required extensive, clearly visible whiteboarding space, reliable access to online materials, and a setup that let everyone in the room see and participate in the discussion without technology getting in the way.

The school installed an In‑Wall Rear Projection SMART Board interactive whiteboard with Notebook software — a 71" interactive surface re‑projected to two 100" side screens — giving faculty effectively limitless digital whiteboarding, easy saving/exporting of notes, and synchronized displays for all seats. The result: smoother, more efficient classes and meetings, stronger collaboration across group sizes, and measurable student benefits from saved, handwritten notes that improved learning and reduced note-taking burden.
