Enhancements
o
CPS 5.3 Compatibility - Now the #1 student
response system in the world can be used with Workspace software. Seamlessly
integrate the Interwrite Board and Pad with CPS for a powerful interactive
classroom solution.
o
Response 5.0 Compatibility - Response
software has been completely redesigned from the ground up to provide step by
step tools for collecting formative assessment data from your students.
Response is fully integrated with Workspace software to provide a 1st class
presentation and assessment classroom solution.
o
ExamView Reader - ExamView questions are
available for every K-12 textbook in the United States. All ExamView test files
can be easily placed in the Workspace Gallery by a simple drag and drop
process. These test files can then be placed on a Workspace page for discussion
and assessment. Workspace’s powerful annotation tools are ideal for developing
a deeper understanding of the key concepts in any subject. You can also use
either CPS or PRS student response systems to more quantitatively measure your
students’ progress.
o
New Handwriting Recognition Package -
Handwriting recognition is now available for 86 languages including Chinese,
Japanese and Korean. Many languages also includes a
dictionary lookup to enhance the text recognition capabilities.
o
Right-click Menus - Now you can choose to make
changes to tools or objects using either our Properties Bar or Floating Menus.
The Properties Bar makes all attributes for an object or tool available at the
bottom of the page. The Floating Menus make these same attributes available
with a simple right-click…anywhere on the Workspace page.
o
Snap to Grid - This exciting new capability
allows objects to be easily aligned and arranged. As any object is drawn or
moved, it is aligned with the page grid. The grid can be shown on the page or
hidden to prevent distraction on the Workspace page. The spacing of the grid
can also be adjusted to increase or decrease the distance between objects.
o
New Text Box - The all new Workspace text
box allows you to format text anyway you like. Change the color, font or size
of a word or ever a single letter! Other familiar text options such as text
justification (left, right, center) and bullets are also now available.
o
Drag and Drop Toolbar Customization -
Changing the available tools in the Workspace toolbars has never been easier.
Simply drag any tool you like into or out of the toolbar and it’s immediately
available for use.
o
Freeform Capture - High quality capturing
tools have been a great feature of Workspace software for quite some time, but
now we’ve added the ability to capture any portion of the screen. Simply choose
the Freeform Capture option and use the pencil tool to draw a closed path
around the portion of the screen you would like. Anything inside the closed
path is automatically captured and placed on the Workspace page.
o
Workspace Page Scaling - Workspace will now
scale lessons written at higher computer screen resolutions to fit on smaller
computer monitors. This scaling process takes place automatically when the
Workspace files are opened, so they are ready to use right away!
o
Area Fill - The all new area fill tool is a
great way to change the background color of a page or fill any closed shape
with the selected color. Just choose the area fill tool and click in the portion
of the page you would like to color!
o
Database Supported Gallery - The Workspace
gallery is the place to store and interact with all of your educational
content. We’ve added a few new features that make the Gallery even easier to
use:
§
Drag and drop images directly into the
Gallery
§
Create a new folder in the Gallery to store
any of your favorite items
§
Automatic updates of the Workspace Gallery
when new Interwrite Learning Content becomes available
o
New Device Manager - Our completely
redesigned Device Manager is easier to use and more intuitive. Each device is
represented with a large icon and all the properties of that device are more
easily accessible. Power management options for the Interwrite Pad have also
been added to balance connectivity needs with battery life.
o
Transparent Toolbar - The Workspace toolbar
is a powerful resource on your desktop, but there may be times that you need to
see objects behind the toolbar. We’ve added a toolbar option that makes the
toolbar transparent when not in use to help with your desktop management.
o
Copy and Paste
§
Pasted objects are placed down and to the
right of the original object
§
Multiple pasted object will tile down and to
the right relative to one another
o
Circle Shape - Circle is now drawn from the
center
o
Stamper and Picture Pen

do for picture pen
