Lightboard Density

In online and distance learning we often hear complaints from students about the lack of engagement and interaction. A simple way to add teacher presence is to create a “talking head” style video, but these can lack visual interest. A relatively new way to merge the benefits of a face-to-face conversation feel, with the hand drawn support from the instructor is to use a light board. Light boards are situated between the instructor and camera, allowing the instructor to teach in the traditional way as if they had a white board, but still face the audience via the camera.
