IIM Calcutta to host webinar on online education & its challenges

The discussion will also focus on topics such as education technology, roles of stakeholders in the education sector and educational outcomes across all levels of education.

Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Calcutta is all set to conduct a webinar titled ‘Dealing with Online and Blended Education in Modern Challenging Times’. The webinar will be conducted in collaboration with Decision, a quarterly journal of the B-school, on March 5. The platform will discuss the challenges and impact of online teaching and learning. The consequences of using a hybrid education system will also be a part of the discussion.

The discussion will also focus on topics such as education technology, roles of stakeholders in the education sector and educational outcomes across all levels of education – pre-schooling, primary and secondary schooling, vocational and technical education and tertiary.

Starting with a keynote speech, the webinar will end with a panel discussion. Earlier, IIM Calcutta invited research papers on this topic. Papers selected from the submission will be published in the special June 2022 edition of the institute’s flagship journal, Decision. Candidates will be notified on February 15 about the selection of their papers. The best paper will be announced during the webinar.

The institute’s peer-reviewed, quarterly journal Decision has been in publication since 1974. The journal has been dedicatedly capturing the evolution witnessed by the management sector in the national and regional contexts over decades.

Springer has been publishing the journal since 2013. The issues of the journal come out in the month of March, June, September and December. Decision accepts submission in several formats on organisational, individual, socio-economic-political, and environmental decision making with relevance to theory and practice of business.
