Workplace Communication

IIT Bombay has designed six short courses for acquiring important professional skills under the ‘College to Corporate' (C2C) Program. The program will be useful to students from any discipline who aspire to join the corporate world. It will help them know about the corporate expectations and skills required to perform well in the job. These courses are targeted primarily towards the final/pre-final year students.

Methodology

Courses under this program will be conducted using a Blended MOOCs approach, which combines the advantages of online learning and face-to-face (F2F) interactions. Learners will carry out online activities on IITBombayX MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) platform, including online assessments. The face-to-face interaction with the faculty will be conducted fortnightly on weekends. These sessions will be broadcast on YouTube Live. Participants are required to raise questions ahead of the session using a discussion forum. Some ad-hoc secondary questions can be asked using live chat.

IIT Bombay has established over 550+ remote centres (RCs), at colleges across the country. These RCs are equipped for live interactive sessions for an entire class using the open source A-VIEW software. Many of these RCs may participate in this program, making available the facility for the scheduled live interactive sessions. Additionally, a faculty coordinator may be available at each participating RC to help organize local group activities. Names of the participating RCs will be made available on the registration page.
