Learning Innovation Lab

ESMT Berlin's Learning Innovation Lab designs dynamic, technology-enhanced learning experiences.

Since 2018, the Learning Innovation Lab at ESMT has spearheaded digital education initiatives, driving learning innovation. We've launched three online MBA programs, blending traditional and online formats. Our curated digital learning materials include 46 courses and 6000+ media assets, showcasing our commitment to EdTech excellence. Recognized with Gold and Bronze FOME Learning Design Awards, we lead in EdTech-driven learning innovation.

ESMT joined forces with five other leading global business schools to revolutionize management education through an innovative learning technologies platform and the formation of the Future of Management Education (FOME) Alliance. Since then, the FOME Alliance has expanded significantly, now encompassing 13 prestigious international business schools.

The Learning Innovation Lab's mission is three-fold: expand our entrepreneurial reach, enhance our learning experiences, and drive thought leadership in digital education. We have broadened our scope of innovation by developing cutting-edge educational products in collaboration with faculty and partners, including immersive technologies. Notable advancements include the development of virtual reality modules on leadership, metaverse learning journeys for executive education, and AI-supported learning featuring tutor bots and scenario-based experiences.

 

Partners and practitioners

We collaborate closely with ESMT faculty and external experts to craft impactful learning experiences for both global students and corporate learners, using technology-based solutions and a systematic approach informed by evidence-based learning principles and learning theory and practices. Additionally, we provide consultation services on cutting-edge trends and best practices in digital learning to enhance learning outcomes.
