WeChat replaces textbooks in MBA classrooms

In 2009, HEC Paris became one of the first higher education institutions to offer reading material, alongside videos and other online content, through Apple’s iTunes U educational network. Now, professors at Guanghua School of Management have started distributing course materials to all their students via WeChat, the group messaging app created by Tencent, and several other management schools have also started using paperless resources. All HEC Paris course packages are now entirely paperless.
