This workshop will be conducted by SPJIMR Faculty, with content support from Harvard Business Publishing (HBP), to help instructors gain a deeper understanding of their approach to using simulations (SIMs) within their courses in the classrooms.
Simulations are powerful tools for reinforcing student learning, set in seemingly real-world environments. They are simple to set up and extremely user friendly as teaching tools in classrooms and can be used across courses and programmes.
The workshop seeks to familiarise the participants with the techniques needed to integrate SIMs within a course, and equip them with the necessary skills.
The workshop is intended as a general introduction for B-School instructors from all disciplines. The following criteria are desirable for getting the maximum benefits from this workshop.
