u lab via edx

via Otto:

On January 7th, 2015, we will lauch a six-week course called U.Lab: Transforming Business, Society, and Self. Delivered by MITx free of charge through the online platform edX (co-founded by MIT and Harvard in 2012), this Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) will prototype a new 21st-century university model, one that offers a hybrid online/real-world learning environment, with the goal of sparking a global web of interconnected hubs, inspiring initiatives, and grounding learning locally in places where societal challenges are manifest.

7. social fields

The U.Lab is organized around a social field that functions as such a mirror that helps its members to see themselves fromthe whole, while at the same time helping each individual to open up one’s heart and mind to the entire social field, and not just to the small familiar parts of it.
