Description
When creating video lectures, engagement is key since the audience is not sitting directly in front of you in your classroom. Most solutions involve your face being separated from the content or hidden altogether. Lightboards aim to solve this problem and provide additional functionality. At its core, a Lightboard is a piece of glass that functions as a whiteboard that allows the presenter to face the camera, allowing him or her to speak directly to the audience and direct their attention to the material being presented. The process of building a Lightboard, including options for various budget levels will be discussed. Using Open Broadcaster Software (OBS), we will explore how a Lightboard can be used to create instructional videos on-the-fly with no post-production. As a consequence, attendees will see how a Lightboard can be used in a live, online class setting.
