In the ActivClassroom, everyone wants to come to the board. With ActivArena, students and teachers can assemble and contribute together. It's two people and two pens toward an endless environment of collaboration. ActivArena turns the ActivBoard into an impromptu gathering point or a tutor's corner for one-on-one help sessions - all under the instructor's control. Teachers can choose to activate and deactivate the "intelligent" student pen. The idea revolutionizes interactive whiteboard technology, allowing two students to teach each other or students and teachers to work together - exponentially enriching the learning experience and enhancing the possibilities of every single lesson.

Encourages teamwork
Learning to work together is an important life skill. Students using ActivArena can work as a team to resolve a problem or to outline an idea. By assuming complementary roles to complete their activity, students realize the benefits of working together.
Builds confidence
ActivArena enables students to feel more comfortable in front of the class by working alongside a peer, or receiving immediate teacher guidance.
Stimulates critical thinking
ActivArena makes it possible for students to respond to each other immediately. This provides the opportunity to see how others interpret an individual's work and consider alternative approaches.
Develops social interaction and oral communication skills
ActivArena provides a good forum for a side-by-side demonstration of two points of view. Students then identify where their ideas overlap or diverge, promoting the development of negotiation skills.
