GIBS launches online learning platform
Recognising the challenges of taking time out to study, the Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) has joined the growing ranks of world-class business schools that offer online learning, harnessing the information-sharing ability of technology to deliver truly flexible education. GIBSdirect, GIBS' new online learning portal, has now officially been launched.
"Today's time-pressured business environment makes it difficult for many professionals to take time out to study, but whether you're in a corporate job or running your own company, ongoing learning is imperative for those who want to get ahead," says Sue Swart, GIBS digital marketing manager.
Students can interact with lecturers
All GIBSdirect courses have been specially tailored to suit the unique online learning environment. A fully integrated, blended learning offering comprises a combination of lecture notes, articles, case studies, practical examples and video clips of faculty, while discussion forums provide the opportunity to interact with GIBS lecturers and fellow students.
Students can choose to do the modules as standalone courses or they can opt to complete all ten modules to be awarded the GIBS Programme for Management Development (PMD). While students can work at times that suit their schedule, the work for each module needs to be completed within the two-month period over which the module runs.
Applications for GIBSdirect are currently open for two modules: Marketing and Financial Management, with applications for Leadership and People Management opening soon. Seven additional modules will also be introduced within the next year.
