An introduction to whiteboarding and screen annotation applications featured in LETU's next-generation classroom pilot locations

LETU's Next-Generation Classroom Pilot locations feature three annotation options:

PC-Based Whiteboarding/Annotation Tools

The Classroom-PC based options allow you to face the class and interact with students directly while whiteboarding or annotating by using the next-gen classroom's touch-enabled instructor monitors.

EpicPen Pro

• This software is excellent for either whiteboarding or annotating over the top of documents you show on a classroom PC
• A wide variety of annotations are possible as are multiple pages of annotations and an option to save your annotations for later delivery to your class via Canvas.

The next-gen classrooms are equipped with CleverTouch large-format touch-enabled Smartboards. These allow a whiteboarding experience more similar to the classroom glassboards. Their interface is similar to the LynxWhiteboard interface.
