from [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Dear John, You might look at the Bamboo Pen Tablet by Wacom (http://amzn.to/11lE6Hk). We purchased one for our center year or so ago and it allows you to write directly into Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat, and other input-device supported software - even directly into a web browser using the Tablet PC Input Panel (on Windows 7). Not sure if your WYSIWYG editor in Moodle would support it or not; it might be worth a shot. You will need to make sure that the machine you are using does have an OS that supports tablet components. Best, Keah P.S. If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Enterprise, you can install the different language packs for Windows and the Tablet PC Input Panel will recognize handwritten characters is the language packs you install (via optional Windows Updates). A Chinese instructor at KU tried it out ... trying to trick it, and it actually did pretty well. ---------------------------------------------------------- Keah Cunningham Assistant Director Ermal Garinger Academic Resource Center University of Kansas 4073 Wescoe Hall 1445 Jayhawk Boulevard Lawrence, KS 66045-7590 Phone: (785) 864-3512 Fax: (785) 864-1256 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ************************************************************************** LLTI is a service of IALLT, the International Association for Language Learning Technologies (http://iallt.org/), and The Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning (http://www.languageconsortium.org/).
