We secured \u00a32,000 from the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences  to build a working prototype. Dermot build his own at home, and the Physics workshop manager Philip Orr built a second one on campus, available for the EPS staff. Andrew and I delivered our Tensor Field Theory Course via lightboard to 3rd year Mathematics and Theoretical Physics students. (See the example below, which shows one of Dermot&#8217;s pre-recorded video lectures using his home-made lightboard.) Dermot used his during live tutorials also. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Video07-TA06: Single-board recap of vectors (representations and coordinate transformations)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1Xwvxvb3m6o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Dermot&#8217;s home-made &#8220;lightboard&#8221;, which he built to deliver his online lectures in Tensor Field Theory<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Via anonymous quantitative feedback, the students overwhelmingly found the lightboard delivery led to a greater feeling of connectedness, that it was a superior mode of delivery than screencasting\/voice-over-powerpoint or tablet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the TALMO Website\u00a0click\u00a0here Dermot&#8217;s talk can be accessed here (apologies for the poor sound and video quality in places&#8230; this is not representative of the lightboard, but reflects poor recording from the live workshop): The talk was based on Dermot&#8217;s experience of online mathematics teaching via lightboard delivery, part funded by the QUB Engineering [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1558,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/antimatter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/antimatter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/antimatter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/antimatter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1558"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/antimatter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=549"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/antimatter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/antimatter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/antimatter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/antimatter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
