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.
