Central issues in the use of computer-based materials for high volume entrepreneurship education

University of Strathclyde, UK, billy.c{at}strath.ac.uk

This article discusses issues relating to the use of computer-based learning (CBL) materials for entrepreneurship education at university level. It considers CBL as a means of addressing the increased volume and range of provision required in the current context. The issues raised in this article have importance for all forms of computer-based learning and also have relevance for emerging technologies in the field. Based on evidence reported in this article, it is argued that, while there is potential for gaining economies of scale by using CBL materials for entrepreneurship education, there are also potential trade offs and conflicts of interest involved in such approaches. The findings also point to the importance of the student perspective for the design and use of CBL materials for high volume entrepreneurship education.
