IMD invests in ARHT hologram technology to improve learning capabilities and experience
10 May 2023 - 10:00PM
The International Institute for Management Development (IMD)
has installed ARHT (TSXV: ART and OTCQB: ARHT.F) live hologram
technology at its campuses in Lausanne, Switzerland and Singapore
to expand the scope and reach of its executive education programs
while minimizing climate impact.
The technology will increase the ways in which
its faculty and guest speakers can be deployed to deliver and
contribute to programs on both campuses, enabling a greater
diversity of expertise to engage as effectively as possible with a
wider range of participants without the need for air travel.
IMD has invested heavily in technology-mediated
teaching capabilities on both campuses in recent years, such as the
latest advancements in interactive video conferencing tools, to
enhance existing pedagogical approaches and to pioneer and
integrate new virtual and hybrid learning journeys. With the
introduction of ARHT Capture Studio and ARHT screens in Lausanne
and Singapore, participants present on both campuses can engage
with life-size, life-like projections of faculty and other experts
as if they were “in the room”, rather than on a screen. IMD expects
this to improve engagement and retention levels for its programs,
which have so far relied on standard videoconferencing
interventions from supporting faculty and guest speakers for its
face-to-face programs.
With the reduced requirement for travel, faculty
will be free to contribute to a wider range of learning journeys,
expanding IMD’s capacity to deliver programs to a larger number of
participants. For example, a program director based in Singapore
running a session on sustainable business transformation can invite
experts in Lausanne to “beam” into the room for specific
interventions, allowing participants and guest speakers to interact
and engage in a more realistic and natural way.
“This exciting collaboration with ARHT will help
us continue our mission of striving to be a leading provider of
innovative executive education solutions that enable people from
all over the world to gain access to our courses and expertise,”
said IMD’s Chief Digital and Customer Experience Officer, Louis
Leclézio. “We believe this partnership will further enhance our
commitment towards sustainability and learning equity for our
students by allowing us to bridge physical distances.”
“By combining ARHT’s cutting-edge technology
with our innovative approach to teaching, IMD is paving the way for
a new era of immersive and effective education.”
“IMD is one of the most forward-thinking
executive business schools today, and we are thrilled that they
chose us as their partner for this initiative,” said ARHT CEO Larry
O’Reilly. “Our technology takes learning and development to a whole
new level, so we are excited to see how it will transform executive
education in the hands of IMD.”
