[Athen] Live Scribe smart pen issues

[Wink Harner]

Robert,

Only the audio portion of the lectures are stored on the phones/tablets.
The files stored on the pen include the video of the writing which must be
transferred to the computer and linked to the audio file. Once that is
done, the files/folders can be removed from the pens. Does that help
clarify?

We typically check out the pens for a semester or an entire academic year.
When I was at SOU the students had the opportunity to purchase the pens (at
used cost) so they could keep the pens. Ask Shawn Foster for more info on
how they're handling the pen checkouts.
