We have an electronic white board installed in #228 for over an year now. I had used it for instructing an elective course last year and found it useful. But unfortunately I could not arrange for a demo of it to a wider audience. We now have arranged a demo on Thursday 30 July 4pm-5pm at room #228 (Unless there is a seminar or some other more important event comes up). I have requested the presenter to be very brief with 15 mins presentation and 30 mins of demo and hands-on for the faculty. The major points I found about this are: 1. Use of several screens of written material (that can be switched back and forth instead of erasing and forgetting) 2. Lecture material on the board is saved (Many times during lecture we come up with a new way to interpret concepts): can be mailed to students or reused/bettered next year. 3. Use of color to hightlight 4. Can be combined with a regular PDF/PPT presentation to use hand marked highlights and explanations on figures or pictures. It comes with a price though: like any writing practice as we did in our early school it takes a while to perfect the handwriting skill. It is certainly not that bad though; it probably would take about four to five screens of writing to master the basic tools. Patience is hence called for. Sunthar
