eINSTRUCTION EXPANDS INTERACTIVE PRODUCT LINE WITH NEW TOUCHBOARD
Affordable whiteboard offers multi-touch gestures and advanced compatibility
SCOTTSDALE, AZ (January 16, 2012) – Global education software and technology
company, eInstruction Corporation, today unveiled its new TouchBoard™ interactive
whiteboard. TouchBoard™, which has a pen-and-finger controlled surface, provides
students with a hands-on, collaborative learning experience in the classroom. The new
interactive whiteboard also supports multi-touch gestures, enabling users to manipulate
images with a simple touch, enhancing interactivity with lesson content.
TouchBoard™ works in tandem with eInstruction’s award-winning Workspace™
software, which allows teachers to draw, insert images, highlight, interact with and
annotate over educational content. Workspace’s open architecture also enables users to
incorporate and work with material in multiple formats from any source, including
ExamView® content and question banks, web-based content and third-party curriculum,
eliminating worries about any importing or compatibility issues.
TouchBoard’s surface is also a dry-erase surface designed to withstand the rigors of a
typical classroom, and the board’s technology provides high accuracy in writing and
annotation.
“We know that educators seek software versatility and physical durability in an
interactive whiteboard, both of which are key features of the new TouchBoard,” said
Rich Fennessy, CEO of eInstruction. “With TouchBoard, we’re providing schools with a
quality, affordable option for incorporating interactive technology into education.”
TouchBoard™ works seamlessly with eInstruction’s Mobi™ family of mobile interactive
whiteboards, which foster a student-centered learning experience. It is touch-enabled
with Windows, Mac OS and Linux, and multi-touch enabled with Windows 7.
eInstruction will also begin offering Adjustit™ Pro Stand in early 2012, an adjustable and
mobile stand for interactive whiteboards that is compatible with a wide range of short
throw and ultra short throw projectors.
TouchBoard™ is available through eInstruction Authorized Resellers and Sales
Representatives in the U.S. and worldwide, starting at $1,126 USD for a 78” board.
