When COVID‐19 hit the nation and courses were forced into online learning, the J. Mack Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University had a secret weapon to offer students. “Sometimes it's better to be lucky than it is to be smart,” Richard D. Phillips, Ph.D., Dean of the College, said. Months before the COVID‐19 pandemic, GSU had started work on a new classroom facility located in downtown Atlanta, which included a suite of high‐end digitally enabled classrooms with high‐end simulcast capabilities to stream lectures. “The goal 18 months ago was just to make it easy for students at their desk at five o'clock to decide where and how they want to participate that day,” Phillips said.
