The Lightboard is an instructional tool that can be used to create compelling educational video recordings without turning one's back to the camera.

About the Lightboard

The Lightboard is a glass chalkboard combined with a video camera setup that allows instructors to create educational content. Writing on the board's transparent surface, instructors face the audience, and lecturing with hand-drawn or imported visuals. Facing the camera while lecturing creates a more natural and engaging recording.

Possible Uses

Making recordings on the Lightboard requires some thought, advance planning, and production support, but can be very effective in supporting student learning. Like a regular classroom chalkboard or whiteboard in a classroom, the Lightboard can be used while lecturing to:

  • Model sample problems
  • Annotate diagrams and images
  • Illustrate persistently challenging concepts
  • Explore creative performances or storytelling

The Lightboard can be utilized when creating single recordings, or to prepare a series of lectures or micro-lectures.
