I love DevLearn. It’s a conference that lets you dream about
possibilities. It lets you throw “practical” out the window, put aside issues
of cost and implementation, and just ask what-if.
What if there were a
space dedicated to faculty for the exploration and experimentation of augmented
reality? Faculty would be provided a bundle of development apps (think Aurasma)

WebRTC is coming of age (it's 5), and it is taking over!
WebRTC?
It stands for Real Time Connection and it is an amalgamation of old web technologies, and a few new ones, that let people connect directly to one another over the web.
What is the promise of WebRTC?
Tons and tons of interactive tools that go well beyond discussion boards and clicker questions.
