IE Business School takes executive education to the next level with High Impact Online Programs

The courses have been designed by IE Exponential Learning, a specialized unit at IE which develops executive education programs with the specific aim of providing an adaptive learning experience that fosters continuous interaction among participants with fellow students and professors.

HiOPs drive group projects using high-quality video materials as teaching tools and big data analysis to improve content and adapt it to each program. HiOPs also employ learning technologies like those used by the WOW Room, IE’s classroom of the future.  With the launch of these programs IE continues to spearhead the advancement of online executive education with a participative and collaborative methodology, and small class sizes.

“Technology offers multiple ways to make learning more effective, but the first step towards effective learning for adult learners is always to develop the right mindset, which is why we also focus on this critical aspect,” says Teresa Martin-Retortillo, executive president of IE Exponential Learning. “IE was one of the first institutions in the world to use blended learning, and it has been a pioneer in terms of innovative learning methodologies. Our unique experience in the field, coupled with recent technological innovations, has enabled us to design programs that adapt to professionals’ specific needs, equipping them with the skills they need to adjust and continue to learn throughout their entire lives.”

The new programs benefit from IE’s extensive experience in the development of blended programs like its Global MBA, considered the best online MBA in the world in the 2017 FT ranking. HiOPs feature latest-generation concepts and technology, coupled with the quality and academic rigor of IE’s onsite programs. Participants are also required to undergo an admissions process to be admitted to a program.

HiOPS set to run in the coming weeks are focused on areas that include Digital Marketing, Social Media and Analytics, Startup to Scale Up: A Program On What To Do Once The Company Starts To Grow,  and  Leading Innovation. IE Exponential Learning is currently developing new programs that will be launched in the fall of this year.

“HiOPs enable us to keep working on and shaping current and future online learning models,” says Martín Rodríguez Jugo, director of the High Impact Online Programs. “We also aim to develop program families that work both as stand-alone components and as modules, the aim being to offer programs adapted to the specific learning requirements of each person within a changing environment that is both dynamic and flexible.”
