CODAP and smartboards

[Andee Rubin]

I’ve been using CODAP in a high school computer lab with a SmartBoard and have noticed (I think) that certain “moves” that work on the lab computers don’t seem to work on the SmartBoard.  I say “I think” because I’m not experienced with SmartBoards, so it may be my fault.  The two things in particular that I wasn’t able to do on the Smart Board were: re-order categorical attributes on an axis by dragging them and click through cases in the case card view.  Does anyone know of such incompatibilities with SmartBoards?

Just adding another post so that I will be notified of responses.

Hi Andee,

It’s possible the SmartBoard is translating your gestures into touch events. If this is the case, there are many known CODAP bugs with touch devices. I believe the two you mention are among them.

The good news is that we’re about to come out with a release (~mid-August) that should fix most of the touch device problems.
