Marks and Spencer moves into online courses - Online And Distance Learning


Marks and Spencer is entering the online education market, launching a business course with Leeds University.

The massive open online course, or Mooc, is a free course on business innovation. It uses case studies, video from the company’s archive and support from university academics.

Alison Houston, head of the M&S archive, says the course teaches how “creative concepts are balanced with commercial thinking”.
