Visualize, Teach, Inspire: The Lightboard Advantage
Unleash the Power of the Lightboard
Are you ready to illuminate your teaching? The Lightboard in the Academic Technology Faculty Media Studio is a new way to create engaging and clear instructional videos of you drawing your explanations on a transparent, illuminated surface.
The Lightboard is a transformative tool, perfect for courses that thrive on visual demonstrations and detailed explanations. By merging dynamic hand-drawn visuals with your expertise, it allows you to make complex subjects understandable and memorable.
This technology is ideal for enhancing your recorded lessons, whether you’re teaching online, in hybrid environments, or providing supplemental materials for in-person courses.
Recently, Chulhee Lee, a Teaching Assistant in the Department of Mathematics, utilized the Lightboard to record a supplemental course video. For Lee, the Lightboard provided a unique opportunity to present mathematical concepts with clarity and engagement.
“Compared to other YouTube content authoring media, the Lightboard provided higher resolution. Watchers can see the logical progression in a single field of view, and presenters can effectively use words, symbols, and graphic materials,“ said Lee. “Any course that intensely requires analytical arguments will benefit from this tool.”
Diverse Applications Across Disciplines
The Lightboard isn’t only for math and science. Business professors can diagram financial models, history instructors can animate timelines, and linguistics faculty can vividly illustrate language structures or phonetic trees.
For those teaching online or hybrid courses, the Lightboard helps create a personal connection with students. By addressing the camera, you can foster engagement and enhance the virtual learning experience.
