The University of Virginia (UVa), Thomson Learning, a part of The Thomson Corp., and Microsoft Corp. today announced that HP has agreed to participate in UVa's groundbreaking collaboration to develop and deliver digital course material, allowing students to experience a first-of-a-kind multimedia classroom setting. In this innovative new learning environment, instructors are better equipped to help students learn and retain more. The project brings digital content and learning applications to students in biochemistry, psychology and statistics classes where students are writing with a stylus directly onto the screen of an HP Tablet PC; using the Microsoft® Office OneNote® 2003 note-taking program to annotate the professors' lecture outlines; or clicking on Thomson's interactive solutions platform to access simulations, animations and exercises that facilitate understanding of the course material. The program was launched with the fall semester and will continue through the spring 2005 semester.
