The Lightboard (also known as Learning Glass) allows faculty, staff, and students to record presentations that require hand written notes with ease. To see a brief demonstration of a Lightboard in use at San Diego State University, please watch the video below:
Getting the Best Out of Your Recording
Whether you’re practicing a presentation or standing in front of a green screen, there are certain recording tips and elements to consider before you start recording.
Best Practices for Using Lightboard
Be sure to wear light colored clothing. Because the lighting setup is different from the traditional One Button Studio, wearing dark colors may make you difficult to see in the video. For the best results, we recommend wearing white or shirts with a lot of white in them.
Plan what you will write ahead of time. Due to limited space that you can write on, you will need to plan what you are going to write ahead of time so that you don’t run out of space while you are recording. The best way to plan for this is to take a piece of paper 8.5″ x 11″ and fold it in half. Then write out each section of notes that you will need on those half pieces of paper.
Plan to record in 5-10 minute segments if possible. The markers that the Lightboard uses are not as easy to remove as a traditional white board or chalk board so it takes a few minutes to clean after being used. Once you have used up the maximum amount of space possible, stop recording and then clean off the glass. Once you are finished you can begin recording your next section of notes.
