????在在線課堂上，你可以與其他同學聊天，記筆記，還可以參與討論。與視頻游戲軟件類似，你可以把你的姓名放入一個隊列之中，當同學達到臨界數量時，你就會聽到敲擊聲?！爱斈憬M建的團隊人數達到6人時，你們就可以交談了，”阿南德補充說。

????這個在線項目的核心是一些案例。從收費墻政策對《紐約時報》的影響，到預測一場體育賽事的門票需求，這些案例的內容非常廣泛。穆恩說：“我們希望應對源自現實世界例子的概念。”

????一個帶有問題的窗口會出其不意地閃現在屏幕上，同時出現的一個方框要求學生在設定的時間內給出答案。這個答案隨后會成為在線課堂課堂討論的一部分，其他學生都可以看到。

????CORe項目只持續兩個月，要求學生每周學習7到10小時。學生在這段期間內可以隨時學習這些課程，因為沒有一個在線課程是實時進行的。每門課的分數將以參與度和考試成績（包括一個期終考試）為根據。哈佛商學院將保留每位學生的成績單，并為每位完成項目的學生頒發一張結業證書。

????哈佛商學院決定，“第一波”學生將僅限于居住在馬薩諸塞州的應屆畢業生，這樣它就可以迅速地解決任何有可能出現的問題，同時根據這些問題改進“第二波”產品。CORe項目將在4月初到中旬接受在線申請。

????“我們希望這是一個易于參與的在線教育項目，但我們只想要踏實認真的學生。最理想的受眾群體是正在成長的大三和大四學生，”穆恩說。哈佛商學院將向那些的確有困難的學生發放助學金。這個項目的初始費用（1,500美元）很可能會上升，但哈佛方面并沒有透露具體的增幅。哈佛同時也拒絕透露它已經向HBX平臺投資了多少資金，以及它期望最終能夠招收多少在線學生。（財富中文網）

????While in the online classroom, a student can chat with classmates, jot down notes, and engage in the discussion. Similar to video game software, a student puts his or her name in a queue and is pinged when a critical mass of classmates appear. "When you get a team of six, a conversation occurs," adds Anand.

????The cases at the center of the program range from the impact of a paywall at The New York Times to estimating the likely demand for tickets to a sports event. "We wanted to deal with concepts that start with real-world examples," says Moon.

????And then, there is that dreaded cold call. "It's one of the most powerful levers in the classroom," says Anand. "It gets some people terrified to speak in front of their peers. But it's also a way to share learning and gain confidence."

????A window will unexpectedly pop up on the screen with a question, along with a box requiring a student's answer in a set period of time. The answer then becomes part of the ongoing discussion in the online class, visible to all the other students.

????The CORe program lasts just two months, requiring between seven and ten hours a week from students. Courses can be taken at any time during the two-month period because none of the online sessions will be in real time. Grades for each course will be based on participation and tests, including a final examination. HBS will maintain a transcript of each student's grades and award a certificate of completion to every student who graduates from the program.

????HBS decided that the "first wave" of students would be limited to those living in Massachusetts so it can quickly respond to any problems and refine the product for "wave two." The school will make available an online application for the program in early-to-mid April.

????"We want this to be accessible but we want serious learners only. The sweet spot is rising juniors and seniors," says Moon. HBS will make financial aid available on an as-needed basis. The $1,500 inaugural cost of the program will likely rise, though Harvard is not saying by how much. The school also declined to say how much it has already invested in HBX or how many online students it ultimately expects to have.
