Tech Crunch - Paul Rogers, Los Angeles Times

At many local universities, new technologies are shaping the way knowledge is shared. “Faculty is experimenting with interactive digital learning,” Diane Favro, a professor of architecture and urban design at UCLA said. “Students use tablets or laptops in class and enter virtual [classrooms] and interact with their peers and faculty in the same room and also around the world.” This type of hands-on, high-tech interaction on SoCal campuses also addresses the expectations of contemporary workplaces, where virtual conferencing, interactive presentations and desktop/social sharing have become the norm. http://www.latimes.com/brandpublishing/localplus/education/la-ss-education-tech-crunch-story.html
