The mission of ZOLE is to promote and support the use of technology to enhance learning. We interpret technology broadly, from courses delivered purely online, to the use of Excel in a traditional classroom format. The unifying theme is the application of new technologies to engage students, build skills, save resources, and advance learning.

There is so much pedagogical experimentation going on in Zicklin that we need these pages to keep the community up-to-date. But ZOLE includes evaluation. We want to know what works and equally important, what doesn’t. We have two IT fellows, Karolina Krystyniak and Ethan Kinory, who will work with faculty to design and assess the effect of changes in classroom instruction. The goal is to create a repository of results so that we can recommend changes based on data and not anecdotes.

In these inaugural posts we describe the randomized experiment in economics that is testing whether students meeting once a week do as well as students who meet twice if both have available the same level of online resources and support. We have interviews with Professors Ted Joyce and Sean Crockett about the experiment as well as students from those classes.

There are posts and interviews with Professors Friedman from Statistics and Professor Eyuboglu from Marketing. Each faculty is teaching a class in a hybrid format and comparing the learning to the same class taught in a traditional format.

We also describe the initiative of introducing Excel-based projects into curriculum of Business 1000 and Finance 3000 courses in Spring 2014. We discuss the importance of Excel skills for business graduates with Dean Zadra, Professor Benbunan-Fich and Professor Ferns, both from Computer Information Systems Department, as well as Baruch business students.

Lastly, Ethan Kinory, one of the two IT fellows, discusses how attendance is being taken in a large lecture economics class by having students swipe their ID into a card reader.

Accounting lecture made by Abraham Briloff ('37), Emanuel Saxe Distinguished Professor of Accountancy emeritus at Baruch College. Abe has been a part of Baruch College since the 1930s when he was the prize pupil of the revered Emanuel Saxe. He received his BBA in 1937 and was first appointed to the faculty full time in 1944. In 1976 Briloff was named Emanuel Saxe Distinguished Professor of Accountancy. He retired from Baruch's Stan Ross Department of Accountancy in 1987. In the 1990's, he was among the very first to sound the alarm over self-serving and corrupt practices that damaged the integrity of accountancy, helped spawn the Enron debacle, and led, ultimately, to the reforms of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Private-Equity (PE) firms play a unique role in the economy, acting as financial sponsors of American corporations. When they take an ownership stake in a company, PE firms bring capital and expertise. In the shadow of the 2012 Presidential Election, many are asking who benefits from the actions of PE firms. Those who are critical of PE firms cite special tax breaks that allow PR firms to treat their profits as lightly taxed capital gain. Defenders, point out that PE firms make money for their investors. The question is: Who is telling the truth? Our guest speaker, Professor Aswath Damodaran of NYU’s Stern School of Business, will address these questions and others in this lecture. The title of his presentation is "Private Equity: Beynod the "Story-telling."

The process of drilling for natural gas, commonly known as hydraulic fracturing or fracking, continues to be a polarizing issue in communities across the country. Fracking has the potential to provide a domestic source of energy that pollutes less than coal and petroleum when burned. The practice would also provide jobs and income to thousands in many economically depressed areas. This program provides a panel for discussion over the debate between environmental concerns and job availabilities.

Sponsored by Zicklin School of Business, the program starts with an introduction by Michael Blah from Sustainability Practice Network, a partner to this program. It is moderated by Christine Farias, Professor, Baruch Business School of the Department Economics and Finance. The panelists include Thomas J.
