R Srinivasan
The fourth episode of the IIMB Podcast, with Prof. R. Srinivasan, on August 22, revolved around challenges and opportunities of online education from the lens of learners, teachers, the ecosystem, and infrastructure (digital divide). Prof. Srinivasan, who teaches Strategy and Platform Business Model courses at IIMB, highlighted the fact business schools don’t just teach frameworks but value discussions, interaction, and application of frameworks in various settings. Pointing out that the future of education is hybrid, he said even with major offline programmes, there will be components of online learning via asynchronous content, and the classroom will be optimized for discussions and applications.
