The Research Cell organized a One Day Workshop on July 8, 2024, centered around the theme "Research Acumen for B Schools," led by Dr. Vipin Gupta, Co-director of the Center for Global Management at California State University, USA. Dr. Gupta, a distinguished scholar with extensive publications and affiliations, delivered insights into "Innovative truth discovery with metaphysical system approach." The workshop gathered researchers, academics, and practitioners keen on exploring unconventional methodologies for truth discovery leveraging metaphysical principles.Dr. Ripudaman Gaur, Dean of Lloyd Business School, inaugurated the event by welcoming Dr. Vipin Gupta and outlining the workshop's objectives. Dr. Fehmina Khalique, Head of Research at Lloyd, presented Dr. Gupta with a token of appreciation. Dr. Gupta's keynote address delved into the historical and philosophical underpinnings of truth, emphasizing metaphysical concepts like ontology and epistemology in the context of computational truth systems.The workshop featured Dr. Gupta's presentation on various metaphysical approaches to truth, including realism, constructivism, and pragmatism, sparking discussions on their application in designing truth discovery algorithms. Participants engaged in fruitful exchanges, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance the sophistication of truth discovery methodologies. The key outcomes included a deeper understanding among participants of the practical integration of metaphysical principles into robust truth discovery algorithms. The workshop fostered a platform for collaborative research initiatives aimed at advancing metaphysical-based truth discovery methodologies across diverse domains. Participants identified future research directions and potential collaborations, underscoring the workshop's role in driving the evolution of truth discovery methodologies informed by philosophical insights.In conclusion, the workshop not only expanded participants' knowledge but also catalyzed meaningful exchanges that are expected to influence the future development and application of metaphysical-based truth discovery frameworks.
From March 21 to March 23, 2024, Lloyd Business School hosted a Faculty Development Program (FDP) focused on innovating teaching methodologies through simulations. The event convened 19 faculty members eager to explore and integrate advanced simulation techniques into their pedagogical practices.
The primary objective of the FDP was to revolutionize learning experiences through interactive simulations, aiming to bridge the gap between traditional teaching methods and contemporary industry demands. Facilitated by industry experts, Mr. Vijay Singh Bisht and Dr. Richa Agarwal, the program aimed to equip educators with practical skills directly relevant to today’s professional landscape.
Mr. Vijay Singh Bisht, renowned for his role at Wheebox and AIMA, brought extensive expertise in conducting Chanakya Business Simulation workshops for top-tier corporations and leading B-Schools. Dr. Richa Agarwal, with her background at AURO University and proficiency in curriculum development, spearheaded hands-on workshops nationwide, enhancing participants' grasp of E-Learning methodologies and cutting-edge teaching strategies.
Throughout the FDP, participants engaged in a structured agenda designed to maximize their learning outcomes. Beginning with an exploration of simulation’s role in modern education, the program progressed to practical workshops tailored to diverse disciplines. These sessions culminated in strategic discussions on integrating simulations into curriculum design and assessment, preparing educators for future challenges in educational technology.
Feedback from participants underscored the program’s success in augmenting their teaching effectiveness and aligning their skills with industry standards. They appreciated simulations for their practical relevance and ability to cultivate interactive learning environments, fostering active engagement among educators and students alike.
In conclusion, Lloyd Business School’s FDP on Teaching with Simulations, featuring expert facilitation from AIMA Bizlab, exemplified its commitment to advancing educational excellence. By equipping faculty with innovative tools and strategies, the program not only empowered educators but also strengthened the institution’s mission to adapt and excel in a dynamic educational landscape.
