Cloud-based applications such as Google Docs, Skype, Dropbox, and SugarSync are revolutionizing the way that we interact with the world. Members of the millennial generation (those born after 1980) are now becoming senior residents and junior attending physicians. We describe a novel technique combining Internet-and cloud-based methods to digitally augment the classic study group used by final-year residents studying for the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada examination. This material was developed by residents and improved over the course of 18 months. This is an innovation report about a process for enhanced communication and collaboration as there has been little research to date regarding the augmentation of learner-driven initiatives with virtual resources. RÉ SUMÉLes applications fondé es sur l'informatique en nuage, telles que Google Docs, Skype, Dropbox et SugarSync, ré volutionnent la maniè re dont les gens interagissent avec le monde. Les membres de la géné ration Y (ceux qui sont né s aprè s 1980) deviennent maintenant résidents séniors ou médecins traitants juniors. Sera dé crite ici une nouvelle technique associant Internet et l'infonuagique, en vue d'enrichir, par des ressources é lectroniques, le traditionnel groupe d'é tude, une formule de ré vision utilisé e par les ré sidents sortants afin de se pré parer aux examens du Collè ge royal des mé decins et chirurgiens du Canada. Le maté riel a été conçu par des ré sidents et amélioré sur une pé riode de 18 mois. Il s'agit d'un rapport sur l'innovation à propos d'un processus visant à amé liorer les communications et la collaboration puisqu'il s'est fait peu de recherche jusqu'à maintenant sur l'enrichissement des initiatives amorcées par les apprenants, à l'aide de ressources virtuelles.
