FDP - TEACHING WITH SIMULATIONS

            

 Pedagogical Techniques for Experiential                     Learning                                        

The simulation workshop is specially curated for faculty of  business, management, commerce and engineering disciplines who are keen to upskill their teaching skills using simulation based educational tools. The two-day workshop will be a masterclass covering a wide array of topics ranging from ‘why simulations for student centered learning’, ‘experiential learning during simulation play’, ‘the vitality of debrief’, to ‘instructor guidelines for simulation effectiveness’. The sessions will be delivered online via Zoom platform.

 About XIME & the                     Simulation Workshop:

The story of XIME’s journey is one of sheer determination and grit. It symbolizes the vision and resolve of our founder Prof. J. Philip, to build a world class institution, rising as it has done from its humble beginning in 1991. XIME has three fully residential campuses in Bangalore, Kochi and Chennai, offering its flagship AICTE approved PGDM programme, MDPs, FDPs and other programmes for specific industrial sectors.

The Simulation Workshop is designed as a 10-hour program exclusively for faculty members and corporate L&D trainers. The participants will have a detailed walk-through on the elements of administering simulations in a class – the initial brief, simulation setup, controls during play, debrief and review. The participants will have the opportunity to play the simulation as a student as well as comprehend the facilitator roles. The workshop will be conducted virtually on zoom platform for the participants to attend the programme from the comfort of their home or office. The detailed programme schedule is as follows:
