Langone Lab – An Innovative Orientation Program Using Apps and Wearable Tech to Power New Learning Experiences
Langone Lab Orientation is a two-day educational experience designed to expose incoming Langone MBA students to a process of collaborative innovation, emphasizing the integration of knowledge and practice, and the balance between creative intuition and business acumen. This new approach flips the concept of a traditional orientation. Students review materials online prior to arrival and put concepts into practice through intensive, team-based exercises on site.
For the Spring and Fall 2014 programs, student teams worked through an innovation process and developed an idea for a new business product or service concept. They used iPads and an application called ExplainEverything to record videos that illustrate their prospective users’ experiences. Additionally, their own experiences were captured through wearable technology, including Google Glass and Narrative Clip Lifelogging Clip camera.
The program, chosen as one of 11 winners from around the world, will be recognized in the Education Futurists category at this year’s awards ceremony in Boston.
