Example of pedagogical approach in practice

Further to the description of different pedagogical approaches, I have tried to find an example of a pedagogical approach which is supported by technology. Although it was very hard to find, below an example of a pedagogical approach, which is supported by technology is given. I have searched the site for evidence of this approach as well as the statement that it is a flexible and creative environment.

"The Cornell School of Hotel Administration offers a combination of inspired classroom teaching and innovative practical experiences. As the only Ivy League business-management program to focus on hospitality, we actively prepare students to be leaders in a dynamic global industry.
The Hotel School is an independent academic college within Cornell University, giving it the ability to adjust its curriculum and services to keep pace with changes in the hospitality industry. Our students reap the benefits of this flexible, intellectually-rich, and creative environment".


I feel that they do practice what they preach. They offer monthly webcasts on trends and developments in the industry such as investment and pricing strategies to position hotels and casinos for economic recovery (for details, see:
http://www.hotelschool.cornell.edu/about/pubs/news/newsdetails.html?id=593). This offers students the flexibility to watch it where they want.

Furthermore, they host Dean's lecture series, in which key speakers from the industry share their views on for example critical industry-related issues and how they perceive the current status of the industry (for details, see:
