ParticipantI have a board with the Product Code: PRM-AB2B-02 and SN: 0816044024 that interacts with the pen until I try to calibrate. Its acts as though I have right clicked and when the + finally does appear the pen does not work. I currently have ActivBoard firmware V3.98 Build 13 Driver Version V5.5.37.1. I have disconnected both and the USB cable which is connected directly to the board and the power source from the board for 20 minutes. Any suggestions on how to resolve this calibration issue?

ParticipantThe image from my computer is not centered on the Promethean Board. The window is shifted to the left and I cannot close the window from the board as the “x” is not being projected on the white area of the board but instead on the black boarder. How do I adjust the screen so that the entire window from the computer is properly projected on the white board?

ParticipantI have started using Activinspire 2.0 along with ClassFlow.
Two types of questions can not be sent to the Ipads :
1) the “set in order” ad hoc question
2) any automatic set of questions created with the “Question manager”
I am working from Switzerland, but using an US english version. -

ParticipantKey concept of Ipads and other tablets in School is “differentiation” : each student must be able to go along its own rythm.
This is not possible with ActivInspire 2.0 : the student should be able to download a whole FlipChart on his Ipads and go through it with set of automatic questions , instead of waiting for the teacher to send pages. This is a REAL DRAWBACK compared to solutions like “Eclickers” for instance.. -

ParticipantWhen importing a PDF, you need to change it to “Fit to Width” so it can be seen from far away, but will have to scroll down to view the rest of the document. I have some grouped items slid to the side so they can be accessed, but when I scroll down to view the rest of the PDF, the items can’t be accessed easily and did not move with the page. Is there a setting for the grouped item so it will continue to be seen even if I scroll down the page?

ModeratorWhen Questions are the Answer
Join us for our next webinar, where we will explore how ActivExpression can truly make lessons not just fun and interactive, but give teachers a clearer insight into what their learners actually know, or more appropriately – don’t know.
We will look at how ActivExpression can be used to find out what learners are thinking and ultimately, allow them to drive their own learning.
In this session we will explore different ways of questioning, such as:
• Simple ad hoc questions to promote discussion
• Prepared questions to check understanding and move learning forward
• Self-paced questioning, where in an assessment, students can learn at their own pace with surprising results.
But it doesn’t end there. What about the results? How can they be viewed and more importantly, how can we act on them?
We will be covering these questions and more.

ParticipantI’ve been using the board for two weeks with the same computer and first, everything was ok (board+sound etc, connected with USB cable + VGA cable).
Then,one week ago, when I turned on the sound on the board, my computer froze + the pen wrote lines instead of letters.
Now, another problem: the sound from my computer works on the board but the board says “no source found” and I can’t see the screen of my computer on the board. The computer says Activboard is active but nothing on the board. Moreover, my computer tends to freeze or be very slow when I connect it to the board. -

ModeratorJoin us on our next webinar, where we will explore how ActivInspire can help you to gather essential evidence of pupil progress.
Assessment is at the heart of every effective curriculum and is fundamental to
good learning and teaching. It enables learners to recognise achievement and
make progress. It allows teachers to evaluate their own practise enabling them
to shape and adapt teaching to better meet needs of the class as individuals.In this session we will be
taking a look at how various features of ActivInspire can be used to document
student learning and in turn, provide evidence of progress. We will explore the
various ways that this evidence can then be used to contribute to digital
portfolio materials.Don’t miss out. Register

I would like the kids to do it in groups. They can change the page and when it comes to the end I have the icon that goes back to the first page. I would like it to reset when it goes back to the first page.
Thank you for any help you can provide -

ParticipantGood morning Tech Support.
I’ve just created an account. My school district said I needed to convert SMART Notebook files over to Promethean ActivInspire. I followed a previous FAQ to click on ActivInspire, dashboard, import from SMART, find file and import. However, when I click on ActivInspire.mpkg, a pop-up states that I cannot open the file because it is from an unidentified developer. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

ParticipantIs it possible to set up short cuts for picking colors?
To speed up the process of preparing boards I would like to be able to quickly pick different colors. When I’m at the ActivBoard it’s not an issue, but when preparing boards on the PC with a Wacom tablet and pen it would be great to have shortcuts for colors.
Kind regards,

– If no mobile app, how about a ActivInspire flipchart viewer for PC or Mac?I’m looking for options to allow my students to view our class flipcharts (outside of ‘Print’ – ‘Export to .PDF’). I’d like them to able to view the flipchart I produce, to include clicking on link shortcuts. Thanks!

ParticipantI recently received a new computer from my district with a newer version of Activinspire. There used to be a subject folder which had lots of different choices of pictures within the Shared Resources folder (had pictures of people, animals, folders for the different math subjects, and more. I can’t find that folder on my current version. How can I get that? I like to add things to my flipcharts to make them more appealing to my students.

ParticipantDual User Mode: Requests more than questions, because I do not believe the features are available.
1) Could you add the feature of rolling the toolbar up to the dual user toolbar – just as we can with the main toolbar?
I create highly graphic flipcharts that have their own objects with the corresponding toolbar actions assigned to them (to keep with the look) and roll the main toolbar up, but since we always have two at the board, the dual user toolbar is always “out.”
2.) Is there a way (perhaps I just haven’t played around enough connected to my board) to assign actions that control the 2nd pen? If an object has an action assigned to it (instead of using the toolbars) can both/either pen interact with the object and the action will work?
2.) Is there an update on being allowed to make the default tool for the dual user – the select arrow, rather than the pen? Another user posted a question 5 months ago about this.
Completely unrelated to dual user; while I am familiar and comfortable using custom/other choices for the flipchart size, in the future could you please consider adding a feature to save our custom sizes? Right now I have to instruct the teachers through several menus/clicks or teach them to create a “template” flipchart. Those that are tech savvy have no issues, those who just want to make the flipchart, get frustrated by “so many” initial steps to get started.
The “problem” presented itself when our campus technology was upgraded and everything is now widescreen. With multiple users at the board there is no reason to not take advantage of the full screen width, but the teachers have to “custom” size every flipchart.

Is there a way I can create an action to skip directly to that label (or to page 6)? And if there is no label option, will ActivInspire be smart enough to know that page 6 becomes page 7 if I ever add another page before page 6?

ANTHONY BOMORTINO
ParticipantHello,
I’ve been happily using ActivStudio for the past 8 years. This summer we received new school computers (along with updated software). I am now using ActivInspire.One thing is making me CRAZY. Is Inspire suppose to undo your Zoom when you use Activotes? The old ActivStudio software did not do this.
Here is why it matters to me. I sometimes scan in a workbook page that the class is doing. I’ll zoom in on a question that the kids are working on. To check to see if the class understands the problem, I’ll write a few multiple choice responses next to the problem and do an “Ad Hoc” activote session.
This worked beautifully in Activstudio, but when I try to do this in Inspire, the screen zooms back out as soon as I select the Activotes. The class then starts calling out, “What was A?” “I can’t see the choices.” “Where did the questions go?” It’s very frustrating!
Does anyone know if this is suppose to happen in Inspire, or am I just dealing with some sort of glitch? Is there is a way to fix this in Inspire? If so, PLEASE help. Thanks a bunch!

I was not familiar with this board but given a box of cords and told they go to the board.

ParticipantI am now running OS X, Version 10.10.5. I installed the newest version of ActivInspire, which I was unable to do on my old computer, and also the newest version of the ActivDriver. I also have tried unplugging everything and then turning it back on. The light on my board recognizes my pen as it tries to let me calibrate, but the board does not react when I touch my pen to it.

ParticipantWe have a couple hundred Promethean Boards in our school district that we purchased several years ago. They have been working fine. We had to purchase 2 more a couple years ago. Our original model was not available, so we got the model PRM-AB378-02. Problem is, none of our pens will work on those 2 boards. All the other pens work fine on the previous model. Any suggestions? Should any Promethean Pen work on this model? The 2 boards in question are not in warranty anymore, so hoping to get this resolved without much cost. Our computers are Macs. In the control panel, it shows the driver version is 5.11.7, firmware is v8.04 Build 4, connection is USB.

ParticipantTwo boards:
1. 500 series board paired with an EST-P1 projector and connected to a Dell Latitude E6510 mobile PC. Neither board nor PC displays images at the full width it is capable of: both have black stripes down their left and right edges.
2. Touch 88 board, UST-P1 projector, Dell Latitude E5510. The images appear to be correct until calibrating, when the calibration circles appear as circles stretched vertically (ellipses taller than they are wide). An older Dell D830 with native resolution 1920×1200 displays the circles as circles on this board/projector. Do board ratio and native resolution always have to agree in this way?
Thanks in advance for advice.

I don’t have the reset page button, text button, or the shape drawing tool. Is there something I can do to get these buttons or what may be the problem? The top of my ActivInspire page says ActivInspire – Studio, does that have something to do with it?

When I had studio, I used to have a calculator, dice roller, and the ability to make a graph. Is there a reason I don’t have access to these things now? Would this be related to why I can’t find the reset page button, text button, or shape/line drawing tool on the main tool box either? I would like to use ActivInspire to make some new flipcharts, but I seem to be missing some useful tools I am used to having. Any suggestions?

PS: I’ve tried importing a flipchart into Classflow as a work-around, but the flipchart doesn’t import properly. Only the first page or two seem to make it out of a 12 page flipchart.

ParticipantHi, I tried Classflow the other day. On the Express Polling, I had to select “ActivExpression” in order to get the Classflow polling to work. Today, I wanted to go back to the Activotes with my class. I changed the little “bulls-eye” back to Activotes, but when I tried to use them, it said they weren’t registered. I went to the registration area, and it says I’ve got 22 activotes registered. When I try to assign devices to students, it again says I have 0 devices registered.
I’m thinking I’ll need to delete the 22 registered devices and then re-register the Activotes. My question is, will I need to do this every time I want to switch from Classflow to Activotes?
Thanks

Permanente’s South Sacramento Medical Center has been verified by the
American College of Surgeons as a Level II trauma center.The center got provisional
verification by the group last year so it could begin operations, but the
process requires reviewers to evaluate the program after it is up and running.Reviewers conducted another
on-site review in March to evaluate trauma center staff, equipment and other
resources to make sure they meet national standards. Full verification will be
in effect until 2013.Since opening Aug. 1, the new South Sacramento
trauma center has treated an average of 150 patients per month.“We are extremely proud that the
American College of Surgeons has verified that our program meets their
stringent standards,” Dr.

Then I Expo Dry Erase spray, since the Activ Board manual shows that spray is allowed in one of the pictures. Most of it came off with a lot of rubbing with a clean cloth and the spray, but there is still one spot that has left a discolored streak. This board has only been in use for three days. How can I get rid of the streak? Now I don’t dare use dry erase markers on it even though ActivBoard claims they are safe. Please help. Thank you.

ParticipantMost professionals have worked
inside a box for so long. By that, we mean it has taken so long for people to
take the ways of the innovative world to benefit majority of people, especially
in the medical
profession. But doctors have learned to come out of their traditional
comfort-zones in order to expand their horizon and serve more people in a more
dynamic and effective way. Meet one of those physicians who is out there to
serve your needs: Dr. Richard Isaacs.Dr. Isaacs’ qualifications, as
posted in his web homepage, were not meant to impress but to inform and
convince people of what he is capable of providing. Rich is not only a
specialist in Head and Neck
Oncologic Surgery but is also an experienced physician who has dealt with
various cancer cases (facial skin cancer, jaw tumor. laryngeal cancer,
paranasal sinus cancer and thyroid cancer and others). He has also worked in
developing innovative medical procedures using robotics and computer-aided
medical systems.With his extensive experience
and expertise, it is not surprising that Rich, who attended the University of
Michigan in Ann Arbor as an undergraduate, excelled in academics and garnered
honors a graduate. He was born and raised in Detroit and finished his medical
degree at the Wayne State University School of Medicine there, also finishing
with honors.Dr. Isaacs joined Kaiser
Permanente in 1995 and he holds Advanced Certification in Head and Neck
Oncologic Surgery. His specializes in such cases as orbital, nasal, and
maxillofacial surgery, as well as thyroid and parathyroid surgical procedures.
Moreover, Rich has undergone training in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive
surgery and is likewise an expert in post-tumor facial reanimation and facial
reconstruction surgery. Rich is a Fellow of the American Academy of
Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery as well as of the American College of
Surgeons. He has written several articles in different medical and other
related publications.In his heart, Rich is a
natural teacher and is engaged in training medical students, residents and
fellows from the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine, Drexel
University College of Medicine (Philadelphia), and Northstate University School
of Medicine (Elk Grove) where he serves as a Professor of Otolaryngology. With
his passion for teaching, Rich obviously finds personal satisfaction in
achieving one of the noblest occupations any person can have in life. Expertise
and knowhow thrive through continuing study and research, as well as through
bequeathing them on to others who will likewise apply and pass them on through
their own practice.Being a Physician-In-Chief,
Rich has shown good leadership abilities as well as proven his integrity as a
trustworthy professional. In April of 2005, he was appointed to the
Physician-In-Chief position for the South Sacramento and Elk Grove Medical
Facilities. He heads 450 physicians and over 3,000 nurses and staff who serve
210,000 Kaiser Permanente members in the South Sacramento and Elk Grove
locality. Rich also works as the Medical Director of operations, as well as all
inpatient and outpatient sections. He likewise holds the position of Chief
Medical Officer for the 290-bed Acute Care Hospital and ACS Level II Trauma
Center.Physicians are some of the
most workaholic workers we know; however, they strive to spend meaningful time
in other endeavors, such as in sports. And for a doctor with his credentials,
Rich chose to become a skier and an Alpine Member at the National Ski Patrol,
providing complete care to injured skiers at the Tahoe Donner Ski Resort. Not
only is that inspiring; it is quite commendable – spending time out of the
clinic and in the great outdoors while seeing to the medical needs of other
sports-enthusiasts.Here then is a physician you
would want and who is totally prepared to meet your needs: Dr. Richard “Rich”
Isaacs – now out there to catch you when you fall and falter. -

ParticipantHi,
I recently attended a school to help them fix ActivInspire as it wasn’t working properly. I am not a technician, more a trainer, but have built up knowledge on a need to know basis. The problem appeared to be that the original technician had done a custom installation of the s/w. There was no C drive and it was installed from a server. Whenever you opened ActivInspire, the tool palette looked very odd like most of the tools were missing. I noticed when I looked into the settings that there were some very odd tools in the commands, specifically just the military compass.
Can you offer an explanation as to how and why it does this? Is it down to the custom installation? Can you, like Smart Notebook only install certain components? which may explain why most of the tools were missing. See figs below. Fig 1 shows missing tool bar. See right hand side AND restricted browser view (left).
Fig 2 shows the only tools available in ‘commands’ section of the settings. -

ParticipantHi,
What is the password for the Windows side of the Table, (so that I can connect to a wireless network).
Secondly, in the Activity session, when I press the ‘For Teacher’ icon to create a file/doc of the session interactions/input/touches etc, the file will not copy to a USB stick.
It comes up with a error message stating ‘files not copied correctly’.
Any clues?Thanks

ParticipantWill ActivInspire be supported on 64-bit installations in the future? The issue is Google is removing support for 32-bit installations of Linux, so that will force us to migrate to 64-bit. The only reason I have continued using 32-bit is to support ActivInspire. I have tried various ways of getting ActivInspire installed on 64-bit, but it always errors out at some point.
Supporting 64-bit would be most appreciated.

ParticipantThis happens about once a week. Active Inspire v 2.4.66096 on windows 7 x64. All usb ports stop responding (Promethean board, keyboard, mouse etc) I was able to RDP (remote desktop) into the computer and noticed that active inspire was not responding. Tried to end task inspire.exe repeatedly and it just would not die. Pulled all the USB cables out and still no good. Task manager showed the CPU, Memory, Disk and Net were all low usage. Event log showed nothing major and services were running normally. At the time of the issue the teacher only had active inspire running and no other applications were active. This is happening for multiple teachers with similar configurations.

ParticipantI’m running ActivInspire on a Mac, OS X 10.11. I’m not mirroring my screen to a projector; instead using my projector as a second display.
Is there a way I can display a tickertape on the second display? Even when the ActivInspire window is dragged to my projector display, the tickertape still appears on my primary.
I realize I can make my projector my primary display by rearranging things in System Preferences, but I’d rather not do that, as it pulls all my open windows to the projector.
Is the tickertape always anchored to the primary display?

ParticipantHi
One of our staff has an interactive whiteboard and PRM-30A projector, hooked up to a Toshiba C660 notebook using VGA.
Everything was working fine until we had to re-image the notebook with a fresh version of Windows 7.
Now when he switches on the notebook and projector the sides of the projected image appear slightly cropped. For example, if you start ActiveInspire half the logo on the top window bar is lost. It’s the same on the right hand side of the display.
Pressing “auto set” on the remote control resizes everything properly. This works fine until the notebook goes to sleep, which can be regularly enough since we have a low timeout value set for staff. This is frustrating our colleague…
Is there a way to permanently set the parameters which an “auto set” discovers? Or is there something missing on the notebook following the re-installation of Windows? Or is there some calibration we missed?
We don’t have much experience with Promethean projectors, so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

The students receive the questions and are able to choose an answer and submit, but this does not register on the board, their names no longer light up yellow as they submit their answers. Getting frustrated with losing things that used to work. Are you aware of this problem and is there a fix? Please help. Please don’t abandon ActivInspire. I don’t want to import my lessons to online ClassFlow. I have all my science curriculum written to flipcharts. Presently, the only way to poll is with the ActivExpression responders.
