PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Engageli, a purpose-built virtual learning platform designed to improve student outcomes, today announced a new partnership with ESMT Berlin, a top-ranked, triple-crown accredited international business school. Through this partnership, ESMT will utilize Engageli’s platform for its Global Online MBA program.
This announcement follows the completion of a successful collaboration earlier this summer, in which Engageli partnered with ESMT and the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) to support the Industry Immersion Africa© program. The program’s classes foster the employability of STEM graduates in African business through a hands-on curriculum. The program leveraged Engageli’s digital learning platform to power a blended-learning approach, successfully graduating 51 STEM graduates with the help of nine instructors and two assistants.
This year’s program was taught simultaneously in four locations: AIMS Ghana, AIMS Rwanda, AIMS South Africa, and Strathmore University in Kenya. Instruction on Engageli’s platform during the five-week program included a combination of asynchronous learning with live video lectures and class discussion across multiple courses, such as general management, data analytics, and entrepreneurial strategy. Program instructors were based in multiple locations, from Berlin to Canada, working alongside staff at the African university centers.
Following the success of this year’s Industry Immersion Africa© program, ESMT and Engageli extended their partnership to ESMT’s Global Online MBA program. Program instructors will use Engageli to design dynamic, interactive classes, and to provide differentiated instruction and personalized support by leveraging real-time engagement data.
“Engageli’s highly interactive and engaging digital learning platform was an incredible asset to our Industry Immersion Africa© program, and we’re thrilled to extend our partnership to our Global Online MBA,” said Nick Barniville, Associate Dean for Degree Programmes and EdTech at ESMT Berlin. “Engageli allows us to seamlessly bring students together, across geographies, to share knowledge and skills. In our globalized world, these capabilities are invaluable in providing students with the skills and experience they need for success in business.”
“ESMT Berlin is making an impressive educational impact at a global scale,” said Dan Avida, Co-Founder and CEO of Engageli. “This transformative opportunity is possible for thousands of students because of ESMT’s dedication to implementing innovative technology across its programs. We’re thrilled to partner with ESMT to support collaborative courses and help build connections between students and instructors across borders via our platform.”
