Tech Tip: What is Doceri?

By Ryan Johnson, technology training coordinator

Doceri is known as an “interactive whiteboard” App for iPad. The Doceri App will allow you to view a Penn State podium computer screen directly on your iPad. You can control the screen as if you were sitting right in front of it–advance slides, open web sites, play videos. What’s more, you can use your finger (or a stylus) to draw right on your iPad screen, and everything you do is shown on the in-room projector.

For more information on where to download Doceri, how to connect at the podium machines and how to use this new software, please visit the Training Tab on the Libraries Intranet and click on the Doceri training page.
