This is neither art nor note taking, it's communication. :-) It's visual anchoring and gesturing - after the call's over you don't end up looking back at what you did almost at all. We didn't know if the tech would work, but we have enough beta testers at this point that I'm pretty sure that it does. Here's a video of a couple people talking some SICP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrdjKvka558 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrdjKvka558

The video is great! One, Is it possible for a user to "save" the session? After all, it may be some time before they get back together. Two, the quality of written aspect, which is central to the "communication" idea is very poor in comparison to what I can achieve on my Galaxy Note 3 with wacom digitizer. I am a lefty with very small handwriting and its still very legible on the GN3... I can't wait to get a bigger tablet with the digitizer baked in. I think the idea could be useful for much more than SICP, however the ability to save and actually read what you have written would be killer features.

  > One, Is it possible for a user to "save" the session? Yup! Old sessions are basically saved as documents. > Two, the quality of written aspect, which is central to the "communication" idea is very poor in comparison to what I can achieve on my Galaxy Note 3 with wacom digitizer. You didn't quite state the question there. :-) If things work out, we'll definitely want to do Android too. > I think the idea could be useful for much more than SICP, however the ability to save and actually read what you have written would be killer features. Hope so! We're starting with SICP and Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain[1], but it's really easy for us to add other courses. We really have something like Coursera in mind. [1] Note: For the drawing book, you're not doing the drawing exercises _in_ the app, you're doing them on paper and then talking them over. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bkjrbclpda8fg5y/Drawing%20Final.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/bkjrbclpda8fg5y/Drawing%20Final.pn...
