Pearl Academy School of Business Embraces XR Technology for Future-Forward Learning
Pearl Academy School of Business (PSB) has partnered with INSEAD XR Lab, a leading global centre in immersive educational technology, to bring Extended Reality (XR) technology into its business education curriculum. This collaboration is set to significantly impact the landscape of business and management education in India, offering students true immersive learning experiences [1][2][3][4].
The integration of XR into business education is poised to transform traditional teaching methods by providing students with interactive, experiential learning environments that simulate real-world business scenarios. This innovative approach is expected to improve students' decision-making skills, management capabilities, and overall engagement, positioning PSB as an innovator in Indian business education [1][3].
The partnership introduces immersive XR simulation-based learning to PSB, making it one of the first institutions in India to integrate Extended Reality (XR) into business and management education. During the XR Simulation Workshop at PSB, students were transported to high-impact environments using VR headsets, experiencing business scenarios in dynamic, high-stakes contexts [6].
The workshop featured two cutting-edge simulations: The Avocado Case and Mission to Mars. The Avocado Case focused on strategic decision-making, while Mission to Mars aimed to enhance critical thinking and collaboration [7]. This integrated learning experience aims to be both relevant and radical, shaping business leaders ready for the complexities of tomorrow's world.
