New York - NBC News (NYSE: GE) on Monday launched iCue, a free online collaborative learning site that incorporates gaming, discussion and video resources. The iCue (Immerse, Connect, Understand and Excel) site was designed using research from the MIT Education Arcade, which explores integrating gaming and peer collaboration into traditional learning activities, and includes hundreds of videos from the NBC News archives.

New York - NBC News is developing an educational website for high school students that will feature both reports from the network's archives, and original reporting from NBC News personalities like Tim Russert and Brian Williams, The New York Times reported. The network is investing $10 million in iCue, which is intended as a supplement for Advanced Placement courses in American history, government and English. The iCue program will initially be free to schools, although NBC expects to eventually charge an annual subscription fee.
