  • 7 Things You Should Know
    The "7 Things You Should Know About..." series from the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) provides concise information on emerging learning technologies. Each brief focuses on a single technology and describes what it is, where it is going, and why it matters to teaching and learning. Use these briefs for a no-jargon, quick overview of a topic and share them with time-pressed colleagues.
  • UW Classroom Presenter
    If you have Tablet PCs and wish to have interaction with your students, this tool provides a mechanism for active learning.
  • Ubiquitous Presenter
    A program that uses Tablet PC ink to allow instructors to annotate pre-prepared slides and students to create submissions for in-class activities. UP takes many of Classroom Presenter's features onto the web (using TCP/IP) and extends functionality including supporting student interaction from non-Tablet devices.
