This book highlights the latest research in pen and touch, its current use in STEM classrooms, sketching and haptics technologies. Computer and educational scientists from academia and industry presented their research at the Conference on Pen and Touch Technology on Education (CPTTE) 2017 on the advancement of digital ink technology and its applications for college and K-12 classrooms. This book is the synthesis of the presented results and the ideas generated from conference discussions.This volume contains seven parts; exploring topics like sketching forensics, teaching STEM, sketch recognition applications, creating a learning environment with sketching, teaching to sketch, and haptics. The book focuses on intelligent systems using digital ink that enable pen and touch interaction that teach and inspire students. Inspiring Students through Digital Ink is a must-read for anyone wanting to improve today¿s student experiences and apply innovative approaches inthe classroom. Also highlighted are current and future directions in pen and touch research.
