Promethean and Epson announce partnership

Promethean and Epson today announced a partnership that allows educators in the United States and Canada to purchase Promethean’s teaching and learning software, ActivInspire, from Epson when buying Epson’s BrightLink interactive projectors.

Promethean software provides educators with a flexible authoring and presentation platform that they can use to design hands-on lessons and is supported by Promethean Planet, an online community of 1.6 million members.

The Epson BrightLink line of short-throw and ultra short-throw interactive projectors offers an interactive projector and pen combination with advanced connectivity options to project onto any existing whiteboard, wall or other smooth, light-colored, hard surface.

Shipments are expected to commence in April 2013 with a suggested retail price of $299 for the addition of Promethean ActivInspire software when purchased with an Epson BrightLink Interactive Projector. The $299 suggested retail price will be available to existing BrightLink owners as well.
