What is a Lightboard?

A lightboard is a piece of glass infused with light and connected to a computer. It lets you make attractive and engaging video lessons for your students.

Example from Kish math professor Niki Rempfer:

What Can I Do With It? 

The Lightboard can be used for either synchronous or asynchronous presentations. You can present synchronously with a live audience via Zoom, or record a video for later asynchronous viewing. You can also add digital overlays to the board, such as a PowerPoint, map, Word document, or other digital file.
