citizenM says: meet the women shaping Zurich

Away from the male dominated worlds of big business and banking, where women make up a mere 16% of company boards, local photographer Lauretta Suter captured 36 women carving their own paths through the city. That's 36 strong, smart, creative, dedicated, successful, progressive, inspiring and colourful women. Each with a deep love for their home, forthcoming with wisdom and prepared to fight against anything holding them back.These women are bucking trends, living their lives to the fullest and building like-minded communities, determined to help each other 'make it'.Stop by our new hotel in heart of Zurich Old Town and help us celebrate the women of Zurich. We're sure the other 48% will enjoy it too.

Virtual Reality in Education: Welcome to the New Age of Learning

Using new technologies for pedagogical purposes is more than just a fad. It seems to be quickly imposing itself as the future of education. In fact, most professionals working in training and education are already well-versed in various fields such as augmented reality, virtual reality, e-learning and blended learning. Although still quite expensive to implement, there is every reason to believe that the costs will come down quickly and the high-tech classroom will continue to develop. To get there, however, the Internet giants - Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, and Google - are investing massively in virtual reality R&D, which could durably modify the way we approach training and education.
