NBC News on Monday announced the launch of a free online collaborative learning community called iCue. Informed by MIT research, the site incorporates gaming, discussion and video resources.

Created by NBC Learn, the educational arm of NBC News, for students and lifelong learners ages 13 and up, iCue stands for Immerse, Connect, Understand and Excel, inviting users to immerse themselves in self directed and peer-supported active learning using hundreds of videos and other resources from the NBC News archives.

Users can also connect with friends and peers through discussion forums, personal networks, and by sharing learning resources, comments, thoughts, and insights; deepen their understanding of core content through games and online challenges.
