    What are ēno interactive whiteboards?

    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.
