Meet GROOC: McGill's new online course has a group-learning twist - JENNIFER LEWINGTON, The Globe and Mail

First came the MOOCs, referring to massive open online courses that offer free access to higher-education learning through the Internet. Now comes the GROOC: a group-based version of MOOCs developed and delivered by professors at McGill University’s Desautels Faculty of Management, including internationally recognized management guru Henry Mintzberg. So far, students from more than 100 countries have signed up for Social Learning for Social Impact, an 11-week online course beginning Sept. 16 with the goal of inspiring global collaboration on sustainable social change. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/careers/business-education/meet-grooc-new-online-course-has-a-group-learning-twist/article26215533/
