If the heavens didn't part and the earth failed to tremble with the introduction of the tablet-sized computing device known as the iPad, well, another technological development may bear close watching and it's called the iPodium. It takes advantage of videoconferencing and other high tech tools to let a dozen handpicked students in Exhibition Park and at Peking University participate together in the same groundbreaking class on innovation. The students will not only share lectures, materials and discussions, they will team up to identify and to try to solve an environmental problem afflicting both the campus in Los Angeles and its counterpart 16 hours away. Advocates say the students will learn as much from each other and their experiences together as they will from the class, which is its own test of distance learning technologies and models.
