IIMB has adopted the ZOOM platform to conduct synchronous online live sessions after careful evaluation of multiple options. It helps create a learning environment that is quite similar to a face to face class, and also provides pedagogical tools that facilitate discussion-based learning. Participants will need to have a computer that can download Zoom software and a sound Internet connection to attend the sessions. With extensive experience and feedback from resource persons and participants over the past few months, IIMB has concluded that the learning can be enhanced if sessions are conducted in compact durations of about 45 minutes. Accordingly, the sessions for this program will be held from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm in 4 sessions of approximately 45 minutes each with breaks.
