Multi-User Mode

Award-Winning Workspace™ Software

Combine Mobi™ and Workspace™ software with Mobi™ Learners to maximize the multi-user capability. Now multiple students or groups can collaborate with each other, interact with material, and contribute to lessons. Each student or group can then display their work to the class one at a time or simultaneously so the entire class can see their work.

Students can also display their work in "sandbox" mode. This allows multiple students to annotate and work within one larger display area, collaborating within the same space for greater engagement and cooperation. The entire class can follow along as students show their work, so everyone pays attention, participates, and learns.

This unparalleled level of collaboration fosters a learning environment where students can work together, learn from one another, and further achieve.

Mobi Student-Centered Learning Pack™

The Mobi Student-Centered Learning Pack™ plays a primary role in creating a student-centered learning environment. It includes 3 Mobi™ Learners and a docking station, and allows students to collaborate and learn from other students. Only eInstruction can help you create a classroom where students work together like this.

Students can use up to 9 Mobi™ Learners at a time for increased participation, and to help drive better understanding and achievement. The Mobi™ Learners make it possible for multiple students or groups to simultaneously or one at a time provide direct input into a learning activity without having to leave their seats. Mobi™ Learners are ideal for the entire class.
