<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Lorraine,<u></u><u></u></p><div><div class="h5">
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have both a student loaner program and a faculty UD pilot at PCC.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We limit students to checking out the pens for one term only, since this is meant to be a "try-before-you-buy" courtesy loan, so that they can see if they are helpful enough for them to buy their own. We also have a number of pens with
failed screens that otherwise work well, and students are permitted to check those out for multiple terms. So far we've had no students who want to check those out, though.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We're using the 4 GB Echo for student loaners, and 8 GB Echo for faculty loaners. I have tried to help a couple of people who bought one of the newer wifi models, but they have proven exceedingly difficult to set up (at least on the network
we have here). As you probably know, the Livescribe 3 cannot be used without an iOS device, so we don't recommend that model for general use.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We also have high demand for the pens, and have been purchasing more each term. Students receive 20-30 minutes of training upon checkout. They are always very enthusiastic about the pens, but I have seen many pens returned with only a couple
of note pages used. We are looking into what's happening and ways to address that.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It can be difficult to get the pens returned on time. Either students don't want to give them up, or they are too easily lost because of their size. Although we prefer that students return the pen that they originally checked out, we do
allow them to purchase a replacement for us if they don't want to bother with moving to a new pen.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">To mitigate the scratching sound mentioned by Jane Berk, we also have Livescribe 3D Recording Headset available for checkout: <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333"><a href="http://amzn.com/B007JUS330" target="_blank">http://amzn.com/B007JUS330</a>
These are earbuds with embedded stereo microphones.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333">Our UD pilot program allows interested faculty members to check out a pen with the condition that any notes created are shared with all students in the class.
Some instructors use the pen to create materials; others have a student or notetaker take notes. We then survey the students toward the end of the term to see whether they used the notes and found them useful.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
