Q: Can I use existing flipcharts or materials created with my old Interactive teaching software?
A: Yes. You just need to make sure that the existing software version allows exporting to Common File Format IWB - Go to "File", then "Export", search in format "Common File Format". If exported to CFF, Oktopus software will work with most legacy Promethean ActivInspire® and Smart Learning Suite® files, so teachers won't lose their valuable class materials.
Q: Can I access web content through my CTOUCH Laser Air+, if not connected to a teacher's PC?
A: Yes, the CTOUCH Laser Air+ come with Android OS in built and so you can access web content through the browser. A network connection to the screen is required, either wireless or Ethernet.
Q: Can I access and edit my Google Drive content from CTOUCH's Android OS?
A: Yes, simply sign into your account on the Google home page with the inbuilt browser. Teachers and students can have single-log-in access via Ximbus™ App, provided free with each CTOUCH display for 1 Year (1 teacher + 40 student license). With Ximbus™ teachers can build a seamless digital shareable timeline of blended document types in seconds, enable students to add annotations to the two-way collaborative white board and explain their ideas easily, and check learning using instant polling.
