FT launches tool to assist MBA students and professors

The tool, MBA Newslines, is designed to enable faculty members to integrate FT news into their course programmes. Professors are able to comment on any FT.com article and share notes with students to explain the implications of news stories, initiate class discussions and build case study materials.

Professors can choose to make their annotations visible exclusively to their own students or to the entire MBA Newslines community. The comments appear alongside the article on FT.com. Users will also receive a daily email of five articles selected by the publication’s editors based on relevance to MBA candidates.

MBA Newslines will be open to all MBA faculty members and students at universities with an FT Education licence.

In a statement, the managing director of FT Business, Caspar de Bono, said the tool was “a practical way of bringing an international perspective into the curriculum at a time when global issues are of increasing importance to schools, students and employers”.
