Note taking may seem like a simple task, but it requires attention and active listening. The mechanical aspects of note taking are often dependent on a student’s motor abilities, including the ability to write quickly and legibly. Professors speak at about 120 wpm while students write 25 wpm. Hence, it is quite likely that students take incomplete or incorrect notes.

Studies have shown that note taking during lectures reduces learning because it results in split attention. In fact, in many cases, note taking can become a distraction – reducing the mental ability to process the content they are hearing and making it difficult for the student write complete and informative notes.

Use the Kaptivo whiteboard camera to improve remote collaboration and streamline whiteboard image capture without changing the way you work.

Kaptivo, which attaches to the top of any whiteboard, automatically saves images and shares content in real time via livestream or video conference integration. The images are instantly enhanced to remove any reflections, glare, and people blocking the board.

Kaptivo transforms the economical whiteboard, found in nearly every office and boardroom, into a powerful collaboration tool.

Interactive Whiteboard Decline Leads to New Technology Options

A recent article in THE Journal reported that global sales of interactive whiteboards are facing a steep decline in the next decade. To date, the education market remains the largest segment of end-users, “driven by low prices of interactive whiteboards and their benefits to students in teaching applications.” However, the availability of advanced new technologies – such as portable projectors, interactive flat panel displays and other interactive screens – with more features and little maintenance costs have led to declining whiteboard sales. Is it possible to find portable smart board capabilities that enable interactivity and collaboration on any surface at an affordable price?

A new portable technology tool that allows users to create their own personalized interactive whiteboard is the Boardshare BC8000 Interactive Whiteboard. By inviting users to draw, annotate or even surf the web, Boardshare can turn any classroom or boardroom into a collaborative workspace. Utilizing a projector with any flat wall/wipe board surface or connecting directly to a flat panel TV, the pocket-sized camera is easy to setup and transport from room to room. Boardshare is compatible with both Mac and Windows operating systems and relies on an innovative stylus pen to access an array of tools including virtual pens, erasers, highlighters, and colors. Offering free software updates and no licensing fees, you can’t beat Boardshare’s price of $349.00.

If you’ve already invested in interactive software for your laptop computer but need a convenient, affordable way to present information, then a reliable digital projector may be your best bet. Dukane manufactures the ImagePro 6135WM (3500 lumen) and ImagePro 6136M (3600 lumen) digital projectors which pack a multitude of features while delivering an extremely short throw distance for education and corporate applications. The ImagePro projectors also include a powerful 20W speaker, closed captioning and remote management over a network with dual HDMI, VGA and microphone input to amplify the presenter’s voice. Incredibly, a five (5) year limited warranty and one (1) year Peace of Mind Loaner Program have been included, making the Dukane ImagePro too reliable to pass up.

For a complete interactive projector solution, Dukane offers optional accessories compatible with their ImagePro 6136, 6136M, 6135W, 6135WM, 6233, 6235W projectors. The Dukane NP03WI is an interactive camera module with dual pens that calibrate automatically. The interactive multi-pen module transforms any existing flat surface into an interactive workspace. Delivering genuine benefits, these bundles not only support multiple pens (and gestures) but also are quick and easy to use. With multiple pens, annotation and presentation at the board has never been easier.
