Experience Kelley Direct's learning environment. 
Interactive Classes
Kelley’s dedicated faculty and technology platform ensure that you will be fully engaged with your professors and classmates.
In the past, distance education meant correspondence courses and limited contact with professors. Even today, concerns exist about how much students and faculty interact in an online environment.
Leave it to the Kelley faculty to create a virtual classroom environment in which students regularly interact with faculty and each other to maximize the learning experience. Through discussion forums, web-based live meetings, simulations, online chats, streaming video, narrated PowerPoint presentations, and emails, Kelley professors and students interact regularly without sacrificing the flexibility provided by the online format. Even the web-based live meetings are recorded, so you never have to worry about missing a session.
Dean Venkat talks about teaching in KD
The Kelley School of Business has a specialized team of course consultants that work with Kelley professors to ensure that Kelley Direct classes incorporate the best practices learned over 12 years of delivering a high-quality online program. While many Kelley professors have taught online for most of KD’s existence, all faculty members have access to the plethora of interactive teaching techniques developed throughout KD’s history.
Of course, another key benefit of an MBA program is the opportunity to learn from your classmates. As with our full-time MBA program, much of the classwork in Kelley Direct is done in teams. Kelley Direct students are able to develop not only their basic team skills, they also learn how to work in globally-dispersed virtual teams, a skill that is becoming vital in today’s global business environment.
 “The professors have been very interactive. They’re even there to provide career advice. Not only do I learn a lot from them, I learn a lot from my classmates. Everyone comes from different backgrounds and has different strengths.”- Melissa Patel, MBA student |
