Available for checkout to CWRU & CIM students, faculty, and staff at the Service Center. CWRU Alumni, CIA, Public or Visiting patrons are not permitted to check out loanable equipment kits.
Please treat the kit as if it were your own. Let us know if you have lost or damaged the equipment. You're only financially responsible for the loss or damages, not the entire kit. Be aware of the below:

Ensuring Board Operates
We recommend testing the board immediately upon checking-out so you know it works. To properly erase the screen, the battery needs to be active.
To Test:
1. Make sure the board is turned on.
2. Write your name on the Boogie Board's screen with the stylus.
3. Press the middle circle button. Your writing should disappear.
→ If it doesn't, bring back up to the Service Desk and request a new battery.
Only available with the Blackboard Smart Scan Boogie Board and Stylus.
1. To use the stylus eraser, the Boogie Board must be on. Hold the left-most button on the top of the board indicated below and begin to erase.
***Do NOT apply heavy pressure.
2. The eraser isn't great; to completely erase your writing will take patience and time. Even then, the eraser will leave behind a fuzzy afterimage.
