Woxsen University’s National Symposium: Reimagining Global Education in Business Schools

It gives us immense pleasure to invite you to an International Symposium ā€œReimagining Global Education in Business Schoolsā€ being organized by Woxsen University in association with ETS, the leading provider of educational testing and assessments for GRE and TOEFL examinations. This event shall be broadcasted live on the 24th of January, 2022 (Monday) on Zoom from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).

Brief Background

Creating global citizens and leaders from todayā€™s youth calls for innovative curricula that support new ways of teaching and learning. These curricula must also provide students with effective opportunities to develop the dispositions, knowledge, and capabilities to understand the world in which they live, to make sense of the ways globalization shapes their lives, and to be good stewards of the worldā€™s resources.

These are momentous and exciting times for business education! The current operating landscape faced by many business schools globally is one defined by an increasingly dynamic range of opportunity, uncertainty and risk. One of the challenges for higher education in the current era is the strategic need to adapt to an external environment that is changing much more rapidly and unpredictably than that of the higher education sector itself.

Given the dynamically changing world around us, it is imperative for business schools to evaluate traditional models and processes that intentionally or inadvertently support operating in academic isolation. Shifts in market demand for how business education is delivered is driving business education to innovate and to ā€œunpackā€ traditional full-time degree programs. This suggests that, in addition to traditional degree offerings, business schools increasingly may provide shorter, flexible, modularized, and just-in-time educational experiences that support professionals throughout all stages of their careers.

To help understand the changing landscape, we have invited the ETS members for sharing their insights.

It’s time to herald a new standard in business education!

Gamification of Learning: Designing an Engaging Classroom Experience

Event Details

Ever felt your learners should be more engaged?

Gamification is an approach that builds on the psychology of human engagement and capitalizes on the exciting, motivating and engaging strategies and design ideas from games.

Applied in the educational context, it transforms attitudes towards learning. It creates an immersive, entertaining experience. Such a hands-on approach helps students to connect with their learning and improves concentration, determination to succeed or overall knowledge retention.

This online workshop led by Rob Alvarez is an entry-intermediate level training for learning professionals who have none or limited experience with Gamification.

The training focuses on five steps every educator can take to gamify the student learning experience. These five steps have derived from interactions with over 100 experts through Rob Alvarezā€™s Professor Game Podcast as well as two decades of experience with interactive learning materials at IE Business School in Madrid.

The online training consists of an introductory session, four live classes and a live feedback ā€“ six meetings in total. In between the live sessions, participants work asynchronously (individually, as well as in peer groups) on an individual project based on their specific challenges.

Throughout the training participants will:

  • explore gamification as a way to create a learner experience
  • get hands-on experience with using gamification to design a course/lesson, address a workplace challenge
  • deliver a prototype of a gamified course/lesson/workplace process
  • receive individual as well as peer feedback to apply the newly gained insights in practice 

TARGET GROUP

This online workshop is designed for learning professionals as well as programme directors and designers, who have none to limited experience with gamification and who are interested in incorporating new methods to increase studentā€™s engagement and performance levels.
