Strathmore MBA classes go virtual with tablets

Maybe it is me who doesn't get the term 'virtual' but using a tablet does not transform the whole classroom experience to become virtual.
@Philip in this case it does, the lecturer makes notes on the whiteboard, which can be accessed by students(using their tabs) who have joined the virtual classroom. This means they dont necessarily have to be in class during lectures. On Tue, Jun 5, 2012 at 11:56 AM, Philip Musyoki <pmusyoki@gmail.com> wrote:

@Patrick, It is confusing: To quote the article|: The videos are transmitted from an electronic board to the tablets through a Wi-Fi connection – creating virtual lecture halls that can be accessed from any corner of the world. I wonder how lecturers transmitted trough Wi-Fi connection create a virtual lecture hall accessible from any corner of the world. Unless the Wi-Fi connects to a back-end system that allows this to happen. On Tue, Jun 5, 2012 at 12:02 PM, Antony Mwai <antonymwai@gmail.com> wrote:

@Philip having interacted with it, I think by Wi-Fi, the article was referring to internet connectivity though I now think it has to be in the same network but am yet to confirm the 'same network' bit. On Tue, Jun 5, 2012 at 12:43 PM, Philip Musyoki <pmusyoki@gmail.com> wrote:
