The desk comprises a student desk having a table, a computer such as a tablet having a touch-screen interface, and a document camera all integrated together. The interface displays electronic information to the student and provides a graphic user interface that allows the student to interact with programs or apps through graphical icons and visual indicators. The document camera, also known as a visual presenter, captures images and/or video of documents or other objects placed on the table. The computer comprises a bilateral communications interface to communicate information such as, but not limited to video, between the computer and optional document camera at the electronic desk, and any number of other computers.
