Bio:

Erik Ford received his BS in 2013 and an MBA in 2015 from the University of Oregon. Prior to receiving his MBA, Erik taught the introductory business course and is currently teaching the 'Managing Business Information' class at the University of Oregon.

Ford redesigned the course curriculum in the summer of 2014 to increase student learning and engagement. One of the changes to the instruction included the addition of using authentic business case studies. He also developed the online version of the course. Ford went on to create an experimental version of the introductory class using a new textbook, technologies, and business simulations. Students have been highly receptive to Ford's instruction methods, and subsequently he has received outstanding student evaluations in both of these courses.
