eePulse, Inc. Chosen To Help Improve Ohio University MBA Program

Ohio University uses eePulse's Measurecom(TM) solution to improve MBA program.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- October 28, 2002 -- eePulse, Inc., a technology and management research company, announced today that Ohio University has chosen its Measurecom(TM) solution to gather information about MBA student concerns, identify problem areas, improve communication and obtain program assessment data for both long-term program improvement and re-accreditation purposes.

Beginning this month, and every two to three weeks thereafter, students will answer brief questions (on an anonymous basis) via a Web-based survey powered by eePulses Measurecom solution. Appropriate Ohio University staff members will have access to real-time comments, responses and benchmarking data to assess programs, make pertinent changes and improve the overall MBA program.

The Ohio University full-time MBA program has grown significantly in the past few years so it is increasingly important for us to open new communication pathways in order to better understand how our students are responding to the program, and eePulses technology and research experience will allow us to do this," states Gary Coombs, Ohio University Director of the Full-Time MBA Program. As Director, I want all of the students in the program to know that they have a voice that is heard by those making decisions about the program, and that they will get a response, even if it is just a clarification of a miscommunication or an explanation for why something has to be done in a particular way."

By answering specific questions relating to their coursework and providing open-ended comments through our solution, we are hopeful that Ohio University MBA students will offer creative ideas on how to improve the program both immediately and in the future," states Theresa Welbourne, eePulse, Inc. President and CEO.
