Online learning
We have used technology effectively and innovatively to create an online hub for our participants, my.wbs. It delivers essential programme information and administration and allows you to interact, discuss, and collaborate with people from all modes and at all stages of their study. It also makes for a real sense of comradeship – you'll never feel alone in your studies.
There is a variety of special interest groups that are set up on my.wbs, across the whole of the Warwick MBA network. Currently there are groups focusing on consulting, investment, environmental issues, and even motorsport. They're great for sharing ideas, making new contacts, and getting feedback.
We use my.wbs for all study modes, to support both our teaching and your learning. Whichever study mode you choose, my.wbs is an invaluable resource. Our full-time participants, all based on campus, are some of the heaviest users, using it for both academic and social discussions. Our distance learning participants are probably most reliant on it, as it allows our academic faculty to both oversee and participate in online discussions between them.
my.wbs streamlines essential administrative tasks, improves communication, and provides high quality learning resources.

my.wbs: Learning Resources
my.wbs is a gateway to a vast range of comprehensive and sophisticated online library resources. The superb online collections made available to you by the University of Warwick Library are almost unparalleled by any other international university. They offer you access to the full text of tens of thousands of academic and business journals and periodicals and to thousands of company, industry, and market reports. Bringing libraries to your desktop in this way has revolutionised learning.
my.wbs also provides supplementary online learning materials to the distance learning mode, such as electronic copies of study notes or audio interviews with examiners, and spaces for study groups to share resources with each other. It also offers a rich range of online resources to access and utilise during your studies, including online self-assessment tests.
