Lightboard Demonstration

The Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning would like to announce a new innovative teaching solution to the WKU faculty. This tool, called a “lightboard” allows an instructor to create unique and visually engaging videos for your online classroom. The lightboard is perfect for topics that benefits from a process being shown, such as diagramming how a circuit works, working out complicated equations, creating dynamic flowcharts and much more. You can also use the lightboard to add multimedia (such as backgrounds and picture-in-picture video) in an organic fashion that does not break the flow of your video.

Awesome video! How did you get the animation of the graph to pop up when you touched the Lightboard? Is that in post editing?

[@WKUDistanceLearning]

Hi Ryan, yes we timed that in post-production.

[@mrMathlesson]

Hello. Could you name the dimensions and thickness of the plexiglass used for the lightboard

[@applessuace]

How well does the green screen work in conjunction with the markers? I want to do this with a darker background image instead of a black background, so my idea was to lightboard with a greenscreen and use my darker background after keying out the green screen. This wasn't shown in your video, but I assume it's been done?

[@WKUDistanceLearning]

Yes that is correct about the background. For the marker, that was something we timed in post-production.

[@freddy4130]

applessuace as long as you don’t use a green marker you’ll be fine.

Have you found that the acrylic "plexiglass" sheet has become scratched or hazy over time after continuously wiping and drawing on it? If not, how have you been cleaning the ink off of your glass so as to not scratch the acrylic? Thanks so much!

[@WKUDistanceLearning]

Hey Lucas, figured I'd follow up with you here. We tested the scratch remover yesterday and it worked great. It took out all of the minor scratches and even made the deeper one's less noticeable. Here's the product we used (www.walmart.com/ip/Meguiar-s-Plast-X-Clear-Plastic-Cleaner-and-Polish/16550253?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=299&adid=22222222227010027956&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=40838625392&wl4=pla-78651900512&wl5=9014680&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=16550253&wl13=299&veh=sem) We used a microfiber cloth and product and that was it!

Hi nice video.... your borad is so clean no scratches and hazes visible anywhere on the glass... actually i have also light board setup with actual glass. With led light it looks so scratchy and white hazes on the glass. Can u plz sugggest any solution to overcome from his. Thanks

[@vinnie4041]

Clean the glass using a window vacuum and then have it professionally polished. That will clear the haze

[@artemedutech]

how is taking notes on a lightboard different from that one of on a simple board? the only one difference i see is that the lecturer is turned face forward. all the animations and graphics can be integrated in post production with any video editing software. so, does the lightboard bring lots of educational or didactical value to the teaching, to the students?

[@gohilsphysics4698]

How can put animation on light board?

[@MrGdsuta]

Hi I just found this video. It's great! Which one is better clear window glass or acrylic? I was wondering because the plexiglass is so expensive here. Thank you!

[@WKUDistanceLearning]

Hi Suta, if plexiglass is expensive there then I'd go with actual glass. We've had this for about 2 years now and the scratches on the plexiglass are starting to show up. We've tried scratch remover but it doesn't work great. The only reason we went plexiglass is due to the cost efficiency.

[@MrGdsuta]

@@WKUDistanceLearning Hi thanks for your response. It's bizarre here in Indonesia that acrylic is super expensive compare to glass window. Maybe because we cannot make it here. I will use glass then.

[@vinnie4041]

I had both and the low iron glass is way better option. The plexiglass scratches way too much and way too easy. You will be much happier with the glass

[@CreatedByGopal]

Great video !!! is this product is available in India

[@WKUDistanceLearning]

Thank you for the kind words! I'm unsure of it's availability in India. We ordered the plexiglass and frame separate, and then assembled the unit at our office. So I'm sure you could find plexiglass manufacturers and build a custom frame to fit your needs. Best of luck!

[@chillaxbuddy1]

Yes, www.lightboard.in

[@BobWestWA8YCD]

Similar to using a standard whiteboard, Best Practice is to write large & legible. Contrast is obviously something you have to watch. Your URL given verbally is fine, but what you wrote is pretty useless. Still, I have become enamoured of the lightboard and am starting to think about building one this spring. Thanks for the tips.

[@WKUDistanceLearning]

Hi Bob, Thanks for the information. We made a second video on "Best Practices" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZTFgap7ntZ4epY). This specific video was an introduction to draw interest and showcase some of its abilities rather than explain the best way to use it. Best of luck with your build!

[@manojsinghdhirdesar7586]

Which marker is better of it? Is it available in India?

[@WKUDistanceLearning]

Not sure what is available in India, but we used Bistro Chalk markers

[@komalfatima722]

Can you tell me the width of the window glass to be used in place of plexi glass?

[@WKUDistanceLearning]

We ended up using 5feet by 6feet glass.

[@komalfatima722]

@@WKUDistanceLearning and what about the thickness?

[@vinnie4041]

@@komalfatima722 use 3/8” thick glass. I had plexi and low iron glass is way better option

[@MakarovFox]

i prefer a black background the green screan looks strange

[@bradherrick3197]

PLEASE get rid of the music...otherwise, great video!

[@ervinhoward9806]

We can't just put words in God's mouth and say it's prophecy. These individuals cannot wholly say this is what the Spirit of God is telling them to say to other believers as prophecy. I don't believe prophecy should be diminished to where believers are prophesying to other believers whenever it's convenient. I don't believe prophesy can be taught or directed in this manner. Prophesying cannot be taught to or by others. If we can follow the wonderful example in I Samuel 3:1-10 where Eli the priest has taught the child Samuel on how to listen and obey the voice of God. The child Samuel obeyed Eli and listen for God to speak to him. Samuel was ready to listen to God once he became aware of who He is. Samuel turned out to be a great prophet or seer among his people.
