Educators and tech providers to discuss future path of distance MBA@The Game Changer

, March 4

Leading management institutes in India are leveraging educational technologies, such as internet based I-classes, audio/video tapes, Virtual classrooms, Learning Management System (LMS)-software for delivery & tracking education and many others.

Despite, the benefits that Education Technology offers to Distance MBA Education, there are number of hurdles and challenges that are faced by the institutes offering Distance MBA.

The success of Distance MBA entirely depends on how well an institute leverages Education Technology. There is lack of awareness about the e-Learning mode of teaching among many institutes. The institutes adopting Distance MBA should offer Technical & pedagogical training to the instructors. Infact, the instructors should also rethink & restructure the e-Learning classes. Many a times, bad internet connectivity in remote areas can create problem in the smooth delivery of Distance MBA programs, hence efficiency of operations should also be improved.

All these challenges and more will be discussed at The Game Changer' conference on March 4, 2011. The theme of the conference is 'Leveraging Education Technology in MBA Education'.
