Professor Disney
From cnn.com:
Business 2.0 Magazine — Its hardly Harvard, or even the University of Phoenix. But Walt Disney is getting into the education business.
CEO Robert Iger isnt satisfied with making your movies, amusement park rides, TV shows, toys, Halloween costumes and lunchboxes. Now he wants to educate you — about technology — free of charge.
Starting today, Disney Charts, Fortune 500 will open enrollment for seven online courses on Family.com, its how-to site for moms that covers everything from quick cooking to home schooling.
Disneys goal is pretty clear: Its family-friendly websites attract ads for juice boxes and credit cards, but its content isnt a natural fit for tech advertisers. So all the classes — which you can find at learningcenter.family.go.com – cover tech topics: “Digital Photography Made Simple,” “Digital Music Your Way, “Getting HDTV in 4 Easy Steps,” “Converting Videotapes to DVD,” and more.
