whitepaper One-to-One Laptop Initiatives: Providing Tools for 21st Century Learners0000-00-00 Gateway-notebooks
  "One-to-one computing" describes an educational scenario in which every student, teacher, and staff member is provided with a portable laptop, notebook, or tablet PC for use both in the classroom and at home.

  • Improving their learning environments
  • Encouraging greater communication between their parents and teachers
  • Developing their computer skills
  • Creating equal educational opportunities for economically disadvantaged students
This Center for Digital Education white paper, underwritten by Gateway, builds a strong case for the implementation of one-to-one computer initiatives in K-12 schools, and walks educators through the multitude of issues they should consider when determining the feasibility of one-to-one laptop programs for their schools.

whitepaper Active Ink Software Launches Two New .NET Applications for the Windows XP Tablet PC Platform2005-02-25 Active Ink Software
  The Form Designer is a form-building application that enables developers, independent software vendors, system integrators and end users to rapidly build digital forms for the PC and the Tablet PC platforms. Existing paper and PC documents can be ink enabled for use as a front-end user interface to an existing application. The Form Control is a .NET control that allows software developers to invoke Active Ink's forms from within their own application and to create a user interface that will accept digital ink. This eliminates the paper document by creating the digital equivalent and using it as the front-end to the developer's custom application.

whitepaper Digital Ink Signatures - Concepts and Technologies2004-09-01 Microsoft
  The Tablet PC is the premier tool for digital forms-based data collection processes. In addition to providing the means to collect, validate, and store data, digital forms often must support some degree of authentication. One of the oldest methods of authentication is pen-based signatures - from the feather quill pen of old to the digital stylus of today, people have been using written signatures to indicate their intentions or approval for thousands of years. This paper discusses concepts and practices related to pen-based signatures on the Tablet PC. The collection, preservation, and protection of electronic signatures created with a digital pen in Tablet PC applications is a new frontier.
