About MimioClassroom
MimioClassroom is a suite of tools for capturing, creating, and presenting information.
The following MimioClassroom components are described in this User Guide:
nMimioStudio
nMimioTeach
nMimioCapture
nMimioVote
nMimioView
MimioStudio
MimioStudio software includes all of the tools you need to make the most out of your
MimioClassroom devices. You can also use the MimioStudio software without a
MimioClassroom device to prepare presentations and manipulate previously created content.
MimioStudio Notebook provides a multi-page workspace for creating lessons and
presentations. Using the MimioStudio Notebook is very similar to using other word
processing or presentation software applications.
MimioStudio Notebook provides multiple authoring and editing tools for creating almost
any type of content. You can use Notebook with MimioStudio Tools to create a variety of
objects including text boxes, freehand writing and drawing, lines, arrows, and many basic
shapes. Images can be imported into a Notebook, both as objects and as background images.
MimioTeach
Using MimioTeach with a projector, you can deliver lessons and presentations directly from
your whiteboard. Using MimioStudio Interactive mode, you control the movement of the
cursor on your screen with the MimioTeach stylus, much like you would with a mouse at
your computer.
MimioCapture
MimioCapture is used with a MimioTeach-enabled whiteboard to record notes and drawings
from your whiteboard. Using MimioStudio Ink Capture mode, you make notes and drawings
on your whiteboard using the MimioCapture pens. Your notes are automatically captured in
a MimioStudio Notebook.
