It ends with an overview of the Interwrite Workspace software.Product OverviewThe Interwrite Mobi is a tablet system featuring the patented digitizer andpen-input technology. Used with the Interwrite Workspace software on a PCor a Mac, the Mobi acts as an input device allowing you to control the computer so you can run applications, open and edit files, and annotate screenimages and presentation files from anywhere in the room. When used withan Interwrite DualBoard, the Mobi provides the ultimate multi-input collaborative system for the interactive class room or the interactive meeting room.Know What I Know (KWIK) ScreenThe KWIK Screen displays StudentResponse System information that canbe used by the instructor for assessmentand evaluation purposes. It is a colorbacklit LCD display that interacts withthe computer to display the assessmentdata as it is acquired during a session.The type of data displayed is dependenton the Student Response System beingused. If one is not installed, the LCDscreen will be blank but will show theMobi Status.Interwrite Mobi LearnerThe Interwrite Mobi Learner screenidentifies the unit and displays variousstatus indicators. It informs the user ofbattery life, if the pen is in prox, if theLearner is in Mouse Mode, and whenthe unit is charging.

2Interwrite Mobi Getting StartedRadio Frequency TechnologyThe Interwrite Mobi system uses Radio Frequency (RF) wireless technology to establish communication between the Tablet and the computer. TheMobi comes with the RF module built into the Tablet, so the only installation required is the Workspace RF USB Hub on the computer.The Interwrite Pen IIThe electronic Interwrite Pen II,when positioned just above (in proxof) or touching the surface of a charged,powered-on, connected Tablet, controls themovements of the mouse on the computer. ThePen becomes a writing and drawing instrumentwhen one of the many Workspace Annotation Tools isselected from the projected Toolbar. When in AnnotationMode, a user can make notes on a PowerPoint Slide Show,highlight areas of interest on a spreadsheet, or edit a documentusing a wide range of pen attributes.Workspace SoftwareThe operation of your Mobi is facilitated by the Interwrite Workspace software. The software is installed as part of the process of establishing communication between the Mobi and the computer and is covered in this guide.The Workspace software has four operational modes: Lesson Mode, OfficeMode (Windows only), Annotate Over Desktop Mode, and Mouse Mode.An Interwrite Mobi, acting as an input device to the computer, remotelycontrols the computer from anywhere in the room. When the InterwriteDualBoard and a video projector are added, the computer’s desktop imageprojects onto the Interwrite DualBoard’s surface, and the board communicates as an input device to the computer.In this environment, both the person at the Interwrite DualBoard and userswith Tablets seated around the room can interact with the presentation.
