Teaching with Technology Brown Bag - Lightboard (Demo) with Joe Chen & Kiko Galvez

Join us for lunch and a DEMO in the Lightboard Studio in Case-Geyer 101. Joe Chen (Mathematics) and Kiko Galvez (Physics) will share their use of the Lightboard, a new teaching tool used to create engaging videos that simulate face-to-face classroom lectures. The Lightboard enables faculty to face students while drawing/writing the same way they would on a chalkboard or whiteboard. Faculty can present the information ahead of time, then spend the time in class interacting with the students, answering questions and focusing on problem solving and applications of the lecture material.

The Lightboard panel’s transparency allows the faculty member to face and speak directly to the camera, while writing and pointing in a natural way standing behind the glass. Presentations such as PowerPoint can also be mixed into the produced video. Professors Chen and Galvez are using the Lightboard to record weekly lectures for students.
