MICA’s real time education
delivery works in partnership with a global online
education organization Direcway Global Education.
This organization has several franchises across the
country. Essentially these franchises are computer
labs which are connected through a central server
to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) with us. The organization
sets up a studio on the campus which is connected
to the same VPN. The faculty goes to the studio on
campus, delivers the session and the participants
attend it at the franchisee location. So we can have
a participant in Bangalore attending the session simultaneously
with a participant from Jammu and Kashmir.
Sage Publications
Sage Publications
is a renowned international publisher that publishes
460 journals in subjects as wide ranging as Business,
Humanities, Social Sciences, Science, Technology,

Sage Publications and MICA collaborate
to bring out the ‘Journal of Creative
Communications.’ The journal promotes
inquiry into contemporary communication issues within
wider social, economic and technological contexts
and provides a forum for the discussion of theoretical
and practical insights emerging from such inquiry.
The journal actively cultivates a new language of
inquiry into the contemporary communications phenomena
and aims to become a repository of knowledge flowing
from it. The journal facilitates the understanding
of the process of communication by publishing articles
that develop communication theory and by reporting
empirical research with an emphasis on practical applications.
The journal publishes articles in
the areas of marketing communications, communication
management, mass and new media, development communication,
culture studies, and organizational communications.
The journal is open to publishing cases based on empirical
and interpretive research though with a thoughtful
discussion of results.
Electronic Access: Journal of Creative
Communications is available electronically on SAGE
