IIMB’s Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL)

Introduction

The context and content of management education is changing rapidly because of the advancement of technology and the declining cost of computing. While high quality content is available almost free of charge, it is becoming increasingly challenging to capture the attention and imagination of students. Thus, there is a strong need to understand and redefine the role of a teacher so that technology can be leveraged to facilitate learning and education that is relevant in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environment.

The Centre for Teaching and Learning at IIMB has been set up to understand evolving best practices of teaching and learning, and to disseminate such understanding for increasing teaching effectiveness.

In collaboration with leading centres of learning across the world, CTL is involved in research pertaining to pedagogy, learning and education.

CTL conducts teaching workshops for faculty and doctoral students, thus acting as a national resource for improving the standards of teaching in institutes of higher education.

The IIMB Advantage

IIMB is an acknowledged hub of academic activity both in India and abroad, and the school believes in building leaders through holistic, transformative and innovative education. The school is recognized as a leading international postgraduate centre of management studies.

The faculty, well known and highly respected in their respective academic fraternities, is really what distinguishes IIMB from other business schools. They are drawn from among the best minds in the country and share among themselves a wealth of industry experience. IIMB faculty members undertake research and consulting assignments which impact business, influence policy and improve management practices of business, government and society. Such research results in publication of books, papers in top quality journals and case studies that are used by management teachers across the world.

The Centre is dedicated to support an environment conducive for faculty to attain teaching excellence.
