Multi-mode study enables interactive learning for all Imperial students
The Business School’s innovative teaching facilities have the technology to enable Imperial students to learn safely via a mixture of on-campus and remote online teaching.
Our multi-modal teaching delivery has enabled on-campus and online students to participate in lectures together in real-time. As opposed to fully virtual teaching, this teaching method gives students the option for an in-person classroom experience when possible. And for those who are joining remotely, the multi-mode experience gives a heightened classroom experience compared to a fully online class.
We’re fortunate to have an award-winning education technology team in the Business School, the Edtech Lab. They are experts in designing and delivering online programmes, having built from the ground up our top-ranked Global Online MBA and two online master’s programmes.
Their expertise has facilitated multi-mode to work effortlessly, seamlessly integrating this new technology into our teaching spaces.
What you need to know about multi-mode delivery
Multi-mode teaching allows students the flexibility to move between being on-campus and remote learning. Here is key information about how multi-mode teaching works:
- Students joining the on-campus mode are encouraged to make the most of our asymptomatic COVID-19 testing facilities to ensure that the experience is as safe as possible.
- Students who are unable to be on campus can attend their classes through the remote mode and be part of the live classroom.
For students in the classroom, face coverings are recommended and hand sanitisers and multi-surface cleaning wipes are available around the campus.
Executive Education
"The multi-mode teaching this year has allowed me to benefit from in-person teaching in a safe environment despite the challenging conditions that we have all faced. Remote lectures have been adapted well so that students can still have an enjoyable and informative experience."
