Educators embrace forces of change in online learning - Jonathan Moules, Financial Times

Early indications suggest that, far from cannibalising existing revenue streams such as income from executive education courses, the availability of online content is broadening the reach of institutions. Today, schools work in partnerships with Mooc platforms such as Coursera, so that interactive content and broadcast lectures complement study tours and time spent by students on campuses. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/1c23f588-cb35-11e5-a8ef-ea66e967dd44.html#axzz42EvEAodQ
