KarbonStream(R) Simplifies Data Capture with World's First Write-on Pad
Breakthrough KarbonPad® tablet instantly translates writing into
actionable data, using ordinary paper, pens and pencils
ORLANDO, Jan. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Today, KarbonStream® Corporation (http://www.karbonstream.com) announces the launch of KarbonPad, a patent-pending write-on tablet
that makes it easier to collect, analyze and use data. Its powerful
processor employs a stroke-analysis algorithm that recognizes numbers
and symbols, instantly translating written information into data. It
measures 14.5 inches by 10.5 inches, lightweight but very sturdy at 2.2
pounds.
The primary design of KarbonPad is to make it very simple to use. Hence,
no special equipment is needed - only ordinary paper, pens, pencils and
erasers. All done with no human intervention.
"For years, our teachers have wrestled with testing systems that are
difficult to use, time-consuming and disconnected from learning," says
KC Lim, KarbonStream CEO and President. KarbonPad seeks to rectify that
by allowing teachers to test frequently and get results immediately
without changing the way they work. Additionally, teachers can use
their own paper tests with KarbonPad.
Mr. Lim explains, "Though we designed KarbonPad with teachers in mind,
its creation is fundamentally driven by the belief that every child
deserves a fighting chance to succeed. We see KarbonPad as a clear way
of providing that chance. With KarbonPad, regular assessments and
timely feedback can be executed very simply, giving teachers back more
teaching time to help students improve."
Merriell Smith, Federal Programs Director for Orangeburg District 4 in
South Carolina, echoed similar sentiments: "It shocked me, and greatly
impressed me, to see the motivation, excitement and enthusiasm of the
teachers and students using KarbonPad in the classroom. So often we get
data in a manner that makes it difficult to use, but I can see
KarbonPad providing valuable data very quickly to teachers for them to
drive instruction."
In schools, KarbonPad can be used for summative and formative
assessments, Response to Intervention, Special Education and as a
teaching tool. Teachers can administer paper tests in different
formats, clicker buttons can be used for classroom quizzes, and oral
tests can be given using microphone-enabled headsets.
Product Availability
KarbonPad will be available from March 2012 as a seat license or by
annual subscription. The product is sold in sets of 10 tablets, with
unlimited teacher and administrator access to online software for
student test results and test repository.
About KarbonStream Corporation
KarbonStream Corporation was formed in 2010 to develop and market
KarbonPad. Its current focus is in education, but the Company expects
to penetrate other industry sectors very shortly as KarbonPad can be
used anywhere, from scoring tests in schools, registering patients in
hospitals, selecting candidates in elections to collecting data for
market research.
