Grockit raises $8 million for educational MMO

Comments [1] | 2 June 2008

MMOLG is a new acronym on me, but apparently it stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Learning Game. At least, that's according to Grockit, a US-based firm that's just raised $8 million in Series B funding to make one. It doesn't have a name yet, and details are sketchy, but apparently the idea is to create a space "where people can connect to learn from each other", and it's due to launch this Autumn. So far, the company has taken a total of $10.7 million in funding, after ditching its original business model of online exam prep classes. Is students teaching students the future for e-learning? We should find out when Grockit reveals more details... (via TechCrunch)
