The 20 Coolest CoWorking Spaces in the U.S. — onlinemba.com
Excerpt:
Coworking spaces are a really cool option for a lot of workers that, for whatever reason, don’t really fit in to a traditional office space like startups, telecommuters, small businesses, and especially creatives in search of collaboration. With free coffee and Internet, workspaces, and built-in community, coworking spaces provide a great place to get things done without feeling the isolation of working at home, or trying to overcome the frenetic nature of working in a coffee shop. But some coworking spaces really take things a bit higher, offering gorgeously designed spaces in historic buildings, community events, and even office mascots. We’re really impressed by these 20 coworking spaces, and we encourage you to check them out if you’re in need of a work space in the area.

From DSC:
The above article I wrote for evoLLLution.com (for LifeLong Learning) mentions the need for — and the opportunities to build:
- More streams of content flowing between these two worlds
- Web-based learner profiles
- Tools that students can begin using in their collegiate days that they can later tap into long after they’ve graduated
- Using teams of specialists
- MOOCs
- Collaboration between a corporation and an entire classroom
- and more

From DSC:
I wonder:
- If the video wall pictured above could be a Smart/connected TV and if it can share files as well as play files?
- If such a setup will involve machine-to-machine communications (NFC, other)?
- If it will be like banking setups whereby the student’s device must obtain a constantly rotating password to access a resource that expires in ___ seconds — and they must be in that room to get it?
- If it will be hardware or software based…or both?
