Virtual and online learning is growing rapidly in the United States. Over 500,000 K-12 students now take courses virtually, and virtual schools are expanding their course offerings beyond just advanced placement classes. Research shows students in one-to-one computing programs, where each student has their own laptop, are more engaged and motivated. However, some argue these programs are too costly and could provide access to inappropriate content without proven academic benefits. Overall, more research is still needed to determine what virtual learning approaches work best for different types of students.

Conceptual Estimating Technology helps the Texas Army National Guard Stay in ...Beck Technology, Ltd.
http://www.beck-technology.com - This article, published in Constructech magazine highlights the role of macro BIM technology DProfiler in saving a federal project from cancellation due to budget issues. The federal government can be one of the most unforgiving of owners when it comes to project budgets. Projects that fall within its jurisdiction are monitored with a scrupulous eye, and those that don’t stay within the allocated resources run the risk of being
terminated. Of course the key to keeping an eye on the budget is properly managing the estimating
phases. The problem with the traditional estimating methods, however, is they do not provide the level of detail needed to keep all parties involved on the project—particularly, the owner—on the same page.
