Videos are the backbone for delivering pedagogically designed digital content to learners and with this lab, IIMB has strengthened its technical capability to produce world-class MOOCs, said a statement from the B-School.
"The country needs to leverage MOOCs on a massive scale to enable millions of Indian youth access high-quality education. IIMB has taken great strides in the area of making management education accessible through digital platforms. This lab is another instance of the institute's continued focus on technology innovation to make education effective and far-reaching," Dr. Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw said while inaugurating the Case Recording Lab.
