FAQs about our academic methodology

The FLEXON model is our innovative online teaching methodology. It breaks the myth of isolated e-learning by combining self-paced flexibility with live, interactive sessions led by expert professors.

The methodology follows a 3-step journey designed to ensure actionable knowledge:

  • Faculty Centered: An expert introduction to the core concepts.
  • Team Centered: Collaborative practice and peer-to-peer engagement.
  • Faculty Centered: A final evaluation to consolidate and validate learning.

Our online classes and the FLEXON methodology are powered by two cutting-edge platforms designed for an immersive educational experience:

  • Blackboard Learn™: For delivering and recording live, interactive lectures with a modern, fully responsive interface.
  • Blackboard Collaborate™: A comprehensive virtual learning environment housing all materials, forums, and conferencing tools.

These tools ensure a seamless connection, making students feel as if they are in the same room, collaborating together from anywhere in the world.

Circular Learning is a dynamic, student-centered approach designed to create actionable knowledge for responsible leaders. Instead of traditional passive lectures, students engage in a continuous cycle of theory, practical application, and direct feedback.

  • Professional Audio & Video: Dedicated audio mixers and microphones coupled with high-resolution webcams.
