Framingham State puts paperless classes to test - Peter Schworm, Boston Globe

But instead of digging through his backpack for a crumpled course outline, he logged onto the class Web page on his wireless laptop.

LaFauci called up an edited assignment, with revisions written in digital blue bubbles instead of red ink. Students fixed their gaze not on a teacher behind a lectern, but on their softly glowing monitors.
