High-Tech Education Start-Up 2tor Inc. Moves HQ to Landover
When 2tor employees explore the company’s new Landover headquarters, one of the required stops on the tour is Chip Paucek’s office.
As the company’s former Chief Operating Officer and recently appointed CEO, Paucek is the first to tout that his office — now outfitted with a fish tank, a world map mural and bright red couches — was the high-tech education company’s first operations center. Growing rapidly from one room and fewer than 10 employees when it was founded in 2008, 2tor’s Maryland office is now buzzing with nearly 250 employees (and counting) across four floors on Corporate Drive.
“It was a natural move for us to shift 2tor’s headquarters to Landover, with the majority of our employees being based here,” said Chip Paucek. “As a long time Maryland resident, I’m so proud to have been affiliated with so many local businesses including Hooked on Phonics in Baltimore. I live and boat actively in Annapolis. Old Bay runs in my blood at this point.”

USC Schools of Education and Social Work Go Mobile
The University of Southern California (USC) Rossier School of Education (MAT@USC) and USC School of Social Work (MSW@USC) web-based graduate programs have released a new mobile application that allows students to access multi-media course content and intra-school social networks, all from their Android smart phone. The launch follows the introduction of a similar iPhone/iPad app on iTunes last year.
While some higher education institutions offer select mobile technology or online classes to students, the MAT@USC (Master of Arts in Teaching) and MSW@USC (Master of Social Work) programs are thought to be among the first to offer comprehensive access to recorded lectures, course content, videos and social networking features via a mobile app.
