Overview


ēno interactive whiteboards provide cordless interactivity with a computer using the Bluetooth-enabled ēno stylus. While the computer is projected onto the ēno interactive whiteboard, use the stylus to:

  • enhance presentations by enabling interaction and collaboration

  • navigate through documents, presentations, or websites from the whiteboard

  • write, highlight, and erase notes

  • print and save your work

ēno interactive whiteboards are made from ceramicsteel so you can also use them with dry-erase markers and magnets as well as the stylus.

Instructional Technology staff are happy to train anyone on the use of the ēno interactive whiteboard.  During the session we will install the required software, pair the stylus with your computer and provide instruction on using the system. We invite anyone to request training on this system. Please contact Jedidiah Rex or Adam Dinnes to schedule a training session. A Chromebook is a small laptop that runs a web browser (Google Chrome) and cloud-based applications.  All applications and files are stored in the cloud and not on the Chromebook itself.

Pairing the ēno stylus with the ēno receiver:

The ēno receiver connects to your computer’s USB port and pairs the Bluetooth signal with the ēno stylus. You can pair up to three ēno styli to one ēno receiver.

  • Power On your computer and assure that the ēno App version 3.0 or higher has already been installed. This software will be installed on your machine during the required training session..

  • Connect the ēno receiver to a USB port on the your computer.

  • Power On the ēno stylus by removing the cap.

  • Wait for the stylus LED to blink green once every three seconds.

  • Press and release the Pair button on the ēno receiver to pair the Bluetooth signal with the stylus.

    While the ēno receiver searches for the ēno stylus Bluetooth signal, a status message appears on the computer screen and the LED on the ēno receiver flashes green.

    • If pairing is not successful, a status message appears on the computer screen.

    • If pairing was not successful, you can try to resolve the problem by removing the ēno receiver from the USB port, waiting five seconds, and reinserting it before attempting the pairing process again.

    • If pairing was not successful, refer to the Stylus LED status and troubleshooting section on page five.

  • After pairing is successful (within 30 seconds), the status message on the computer screen indicates that ēno is ready to use and the ēno receiver LED changes to a solid blue color.


    A few things to know about Chromebook:


    • You do all your work in a browser
      Send mail, schedule meetings, work on documents, edit graphics, use custom apps, and more—all in a Chrome web browser!
    • Access your stuff from anywhere
      Your apps, documents, and settings are all stored safely in the cloud and not on your Chromebook, so you can sign in with your Beloit account on any Chromebook and you’ll find your personal workspace exactly as you left it.
    • There’s no desktop!
      All you do is open and close browser windows—just as when browsing the web on other computers.
    • No updates or maintenance
      Unlike a traditional PC, your Chromebook stays fast and up-to-date on its own. Each time you turn it on, it updates itself with the latest apps, features, system updates, and antivirus software.

    • Fast boot, long battery life
      A Chromebook needs little processing power or local storage since all the heavy lifting happens in the cloud. As a result it boots super fast—in 8 seconds—and the battery can last up to eight hours!
    • Built-in security
      Each webpage and application you visit runs in a restricted environment. So visiting one page that’s been infected with something malicious can’t affect anything else on your computer.
    • You’re almost always online
      You can do a few things on a Chromebook without an Internet connection. But since you typically work on the web, you’ll need to be online to get most of your work done.
