<p class="MsoNormal">We here at Services to Students with Disabilities at MacEwan University have successfully been using Sonocent Audio Notetaker for about 6 years. At present, during a regular fall or winter semester, we have about 400 students using it.
We have both 2 and 4 year programs and degrees. We had a pilot project going for a while, too. In combination with a good microphone, our students love it. When we do our tech assessment with students, we generally demo 3 different types of recording options:
a digital recorder with indexing options; the Livescribe pen; and Audio Notetaker. Not all students have the same needs or abilities, but most opt for Audio Notetaker. They then receive individual training. We have no complaints to report!<o:p></o:p></p>

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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

having a peer notetaker or a smart pen. We are in the process of purchasing. Just thought I’d put out a plug for them. The company was so easy to work with as well.
