• The materialization of Web based learning support systems as a result of emerging advanced technologies encouraged the high-academic board at the College of Management to implement a new system, as a replacement for the existing relatively obsolete application. HighLearn is a Web-based complete set of solutions for management and delivery of courses materials, as well as forms of communication. “Business Game” Course, a core, interdisciplinary course, obligatory for all undergraduates at the School of Business Administration illustrates the benefits that the College has obtained from the new application implemented - HighLearn. The entire course’s related activity used to take place on campus before upgrading the applications, and many complaints were heard from students who found the entire process bothersome. The modern, Web Based architecture enabled easy bidirectional access and smooth transactions. HighLearn has been used over a year, and results are more than satisfactory: students access course materials, as well as other computerized support systems easily, considerably faster and safer than before. Thanks to discussion groups, interaction between students and staff was improved, and so did the communication between students.
