London School of Marketing introduces the concept of LAPs in a ‘post-MOOC’ era on The Huffington Post
London, England (PRWEB UK) 5 February 2014 -- London School of Marketing, a leading institution offering accredited marketing and business qualifications in the heart of London, has been featured on The Huffington Post addressing the fast rise of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), Small Private Online Courses (SPOCs) and Local Access Points (LAPs).
“Not long after educational providers and students alike clocked on to MOOCs, another new acronym has hit the streets,” writes Anton Dominique, COO/CFO of London School of Marketing. “Like MOOCs, SPOCs also develop online programmes and professor-led tutorials and make them available for free online to large bodies of students - but on a smaller scale.”
According to Dominique, it is no surprise that MOOCs and SPOCs are on the rise, as mass education addresses the fundamental requirement for any successful business leader: collaboration. In essence, education is the process, technology is the tool and collaboration is the ultimate goal. Both MOOCs and SPOCs successfully bring all three of these elements together.
“In my opinion, the common denominator for both is yet another acronym, LAPs,” explains Dominique. “With IT-driven education as one of our core competencies at London School of Marketing, and considering that international students are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain a visa to travel to the UK to study, we have set up LAPs around the world to allow us to take our qualifications to students instead of expecting them to travel to the UK.”
