Teaching in an online or blended environment can make it difficult to introduce complex ideas without losing the familiar connectedness of the face-to-face classroom. To help bridge this gap and let faculty build on the comfort of presenting ideas visually on a board, the Learning Studio introduced the Lightboard to the ACU campus in a pilot in Spring 2015.<\/p>\n

The Lightboard allows faculty to intuitively produce short videos that introduce key concepts visually as they speak directly to a camera. LEDs illuminate a thick pane of tempered glass between the teacher and the camera, and the teacher writes directly on the glass with neon markers to illustrate points and concepts as they talk.<\/p>\n

\nThe Lightboard was designed by Michael Peshkin at Northwestern University and updated with improvements from teams at Duke, Notre Dame, and schools around the country. The following examples illustrate a few of the ways the lightboard supports presentations in different fields.<\/p>\n
