UBC’s Simon Bates records a LightBoard session
As the proverb goes, many hands make light work, but the Lightboard, the brand-new learning technology at UBC is ensuring that handy light makes great work!
Unlike all other classroom boards, while writing on the Lightboard, you face “towards” the students, and write on a glass full of lights that makes the writings on the board quite bright and visible.
The recorded lecture can then be published through YouTube, Kaltura or other video-casting channels, and can also be uploaded and published into the online courses websites (e.g. on Connect, Blogs or Wikis)!
In the video below, you can see CTLT’s Academic Director (and Physics professor) Simon Bates using the Lightboard to calculate the weight of the Earth:
