You can read the article if you want to but if you're like me you'll be distracted by the photo and will start playing "how many things are wrong with this classroom ?" You can see from the branding on the wall that it's a ViewSonic hybrid classroom, so presumably it's their best effort, right? Yet look at how people have to be clumped into a tiny group in the centre to even see the view screen. You might notice (if you look carefully) a projection of the remote participants on the back wall. The room is colourful, which is nice, but visually distracting and yet boring at the same time. The desks are tiny and you couldn't really work on them. There are no plug-ins anyways. You might be thinking that with all wheels it would be easy to reorganize desks, and you could, but there's no way to have hybrid groups.
