The internet has opened up new opportunities to educators especially in terms of embracing constructivist approaches to learning. The objective of this paper is to describe how an interactive market approach to distant learning is designed andimplemented in the Masters of Computational Finance (MSCF) program at Carnegie Mellon University. This approach provides a subtle blend of both behaviorist and radical constructivist principles applied to the learning environment. This resulted in a new solution to a problem facing educators, which is how to design and implement experiential settings that engage students to learn effectively.
