CBS 19 Charlottesville Talks About Pulse’s UVA Efficacy Studies

Friday, February 26th, 2010

We posted a blog entry this January on the University of Virginia’s efficacy studies using the Pulse smartpen. Tiffani Sargent, a reporter from CBS 19 in Charlottesville, discusses with Stephanie Moore how the smartpen works and how UVa is working with Livescribe to develop advanced features and uses for the smartpen for both professors and students.

Some examples include:
• Students can submit their homework digitally using their smartpen.
• Professors can grade papers and provide audio feedback to students using the smartpen.

Check out the video on the Charlottesville Newsplex site.

What kind of ways do you think students and professors can use the smartpen? Share your ideas on the Livescribe Facebook Fan page!

Happy Wednesday Pulse fans! Looking for a quick, mid-week read?

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

According to this article, U.S. Representative James McGovern visited Dean College in Franklin, Mass. on Monday to see how the college was using $150,000 in federal funds he helped secure to pay for upgrades in curriculum, technology, faculty and instruction. During a tour of the campus’ Library Learning Commons, a student named Karl McGrotty demoed Pulse to McGovern, who was impressed and said he could see Pulse helping students learn “coursework and real-life skills.” The college’s president, Paula Rooney, also chimed in – saying that Pulse “contributes to skills that set students apart when they hit the job market.”

We couldn’t agree more with these comments! Many thanks to James for his work to get new technologies onto college campuses, and to Karl and Paula for spreading the word about Pulse!
