If you don't apply learning, it doesn't tend to last. This universal problem provided a focus for Professor James Hunt when he was faced with the challenge of teaching in Babson College's newly re-designed Fast Track blended MBA program, being launched this fall on both sides of the country.

The new Fast Track program is a blended course for professionals who want to stay in their jobs while earning their MBAs. The students do 60 per cent of their coursework two-day sessions. "Traditionally, the academic experience and work experience have been held as quite separate. We're trying to bring them together and leverage one experience for the benefit of the other," says Hunt.

One tool that fits perfectly with this program's format is a new, online 360-feedback review process that happens on-the-job, giving students' managers and peers an opportunity to assess their performance.
