Groove as a Learning Management Platform

[dp]

I teach CS/IT at a community college.

Recently I've served on a team evaluating learning management systems such
as Blackboard, Angel, etc.

At the same time, I started working with Groove. Groove does everything
those systems do and, in most cases, much better.

Has anyone thought about releasing a "Groove for Education"?

Education is a big industry with big opportunities... K-12 and Higher
Education as well as corporate education.

At the same time this woud give students a chance to learn an application
they will use on the job.

a classroom tool with some success.
