Online learning experience
Online courses
SIAI is an online business school that all educational sessions are held on the online system. The school started the online service by Microsoft Teams for Education, but since 2025, it has been migrated to Moodle along with NextCloud-based internal community. It is to ensure that learning experiences are as qualitative as offline courses.
Over the past years, the school has witnessed that students prefer video records over live sessions as they are more location/time free. Students also have shown to speed up video lectures upto 2x times. Many students watch videos repeated, if the concepts covered in the lecture is complicated.
The school has adapted to online forms of teaching in many other ways, which are discretely supported by our customized version of Moodle. Though we are confident, we will continue to upgrade our system as the technology advances.
