HEC Paris started teaching a fully online MSc in innovation and entrepreneurship using Coursera in 2017, writes The Financial Times. Its associate dean of executive education, Anne-Valérie Corboz, says: “The important thing for us is to build partnerships outside our campus walls.” Nevertheless, while she praises the “flexibility and adaptability” of the online model, she adds: “Online education is not recession proof and it will not replace our teaching offline.”
