The AVerPen Interactive Collaborative Learning Solution combines collaborative learning with mobility, simultaneous teacher-student engagement, and immediate feedback, all from virtually any surface in the room. AVerPen starter sets include one teacher pen with four student pens, able to work simultaneously. Teacher pens control all AVer+ software features as well as activate, limit, or expand student pen functions, and fully integrate with AVerVision document cameras. Since the pens function on virtually any surface, teachers can do not need to carry a static board or carry a bulky slate.

Samsung Opto-Electronics America announces the Samsung UF-130DX Presentation Station--a high-definition digital presenter with an onboard processor running Windows CE. The ability to work with multiple memory devices, such as compact flash cards, SD cards, or even USB flash drives, allows users not only to save their presentations but even upload their files to the UF-130DX for playback. The UF-130DX is also networkable (via Ethernet 10/100). Attach any USB keyboard and mouse to access the Internet directly from the document camera. If a presentation was left behind on another system, use the UF-130DX Remote Desktop Control to access a remote PC via a campus network to download the file. Also unique to the UF-130DX is the ability to provide live, dual outputs from the document camera, as well as the input source. These live displays can be sent to multiple monitors for side-by-side viewing or overlaid on a single display for picture-in-picture viewing.
