Interactive Whiteboard Emulator

Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) emulators allow interactive learning to become more mobile.
 
These are small devices (different types are different shapes) which stick to a smooth surface (usually a non-electronic whiteboard). They are connected to a laptop by wire (or in some cases, wirelessly). They work by having software installed on the laptop. The device records all the board activites by means of special pens. This action 'emulates' the actions of a normal IWB.
