Rhodes University via the Rhodes Business School will begin offering its Master of Business Administration course in a hybrid method come 2024.eLearnAfrica will help Rhodes host the MBA via an online virtual learning environment which will see the course shortened in length.
VLEs are web-based learning platforms, accessed via desktop PCs or notebooks. Through them students are able to access all the usual learning resources, as well as activities and even assessments. They also guide students using a course structure so it isn’t just watching a video and then answering a quiz.
“Students and lecturers want the best of both the digital and the physical teaching world. ‘Phygital’ is key! The digital or virtual mode provides convenience and flexibility. The physical mode provides the immersion and human engagement that we still need.” “We are very excited about this as it means our MBA is now more accessible than ever,” Skae enthused, adding that the MBA via VLE course will be available from 2024.
