[Athen] [EXT] Sonocent

As with Robert we are a community college and our Sonocent pilot did not go
well. We had access to plenty of promotional material and a good
relationship with the vendor but we just could not sell the complex
multi-featured software in comparison with the simplicity of the livescribe
pen. We still loan out 100 plus livescribes per term. In comparison, we had
one student using sonocent last year and consequently purchased just one
licence. I can only speculate that we may have a larger percentage of Adult
Basic Education students that come in with less access to technology at
home and less technology exposure in general. Again, purely speculative.
For those of you successfully using Sonocent, how many licences are you
using? Are you a 2 year or 4 year school? What does your process of
onboarding look like?

Thank you.
