You might call Boston the capital of f2f learning with its pedigree of physical campuses (Harvard, Boston University, MIT, Northeastern, Suffolk, etc.) yet it also seems to me ideal for a blended learning environment. The elements of a good blended environment include:
-- Human capital including those with good learning and technology skills
--Collaborative environment (Facebook was created in this milieu, as Boston is ripe with young people with a social agenda and the need to interface).
--Good public transpiration, so people can move around
--content rich environments, like museums, capital building, libraries, freedom trail, etc.
--Complex grids, paradoxes in the way things are done, creating environment for questions and various narratives.
--Wifi and strong public access to computing technology
