Dr Bhimaraya Metri conducts Webinar at ISAGA2021May 1, 2021

Dr Bhimaraya Metri (Director, IIM Nagpur) conducted a webinar under the 52nd Annual Conference of International Simulation and Gaming Association (ISAGA2021), organized by Shri Vaishnav Vidhyapeeth Vishwavidyalay, Indore (SVVV) on May 1, 2021. His session focused on ‘Business Games: Powerful Tools to develop Mindset for Future of Work’.

Prof Metri quoted the World Economic Forum’s Future of Work report to show that the future demanded focus on innovation, entrepreneurship and adaptability. The new mindset would be driven by independent thinking, be open to radical experimentation and be resilient to failure. He stated that there was a need to move beyond conventional teaching methods to meet this objective. Dr Metri opined that game-based learning (GBL) offers dynamic context to encourage unlearning and produce learning. The virtual reality offered by games facilitates opportunities for students to learn from failure.

His session was followed by an interactive session in which other expert academicians also weighed in on the topic of games and their incorporation into regular teaching.
