Teaching Tip: Use Learning Glass to deliver engaging lectures
September 13, 2016
The Learning Glass, sometimes called a lightboard, is a large piece of glass ringed
by LED lights. When fluorescent marker is applied to the surface of the glass, it
catches the light from the LEDs and glows clearly and brightly. Instructors can take
advantage of this and draw from behind the glass, allowing audiences to see them and
their written work at the same time.
UAF eLearning recently installed a Learning Glass unit, joining institutions such as Northwestern, San Diego State
University and University of Florida. Several UAF instructors have already created
videos that are being used this semester.
