Disney ties up with Sony to offer online courses

Walt Disney's Internet venture site Family.com has tied up with Sony Electronics to offer online courses in courses such as "A Changing Work-Life Balance", "Digital Photography made simple", and "Hands-On Digital Scrapbooking Design". People interested in taking these courses need to register at Disney's Family.com site with their name, email address, birth date and ZIP code.

The Disney Family.com’s frequently asked questions, however, clarify that course takers are not required to purchase any of the products featured on its site. “We are taking a very comprehensive approach to our collaboration with The Walt Disney Internet Group on Disney Family.com,” says Barbara Miller, director of corporate web services at Sony Electronics.
