Abstract


The concept Virtual Interactive Learning (VIL) or e-Learning has evolved significantly over the past few years. VIL represent an attempt to break away from traditional lecture-style delivery of education by reaching out and offering education to anyone, anywhere through online platforms open to all who have Internet access. This research paper focuses on the initiatives taken by a reputed management school in India towards conceptualizing and delivering of management education to working professionals through the VIL mode. Through an empirical study, the authors have tried to bring out the various challenges and concerns that the institute faced while running the VIL Programs over the years. This research is also intended to highlight the measures taken by the institute to combat the challenges, to ensure seamless delivery of the programs.
