Smartboard for Boosting Engagement and Accessible Learning

“Integrating the Smartboard into my chemistry courses has significantly enhanced the way I teach and how my students engage with the material. Its dual-hosting feature allows me to create a more inclusive learning environment by capturing lectures and classroom participation for later review. This has been especially valuable for students who missed a class—they’re able to view the recording. Beyond the ease of connectivity, the Smartboard also enhances the teaching experience itself. Gone are the days of squinting at tiny projector screens; now, my slides and presentations are on a large, interactive display – with the ability to write directly on the slides. Whether it’s annotating a complex protein structure or sketching out a synthetic pathway, the Smartboard allows for a dynamic, interactive educational experience that’s both engaging and accessible. Overall, the Smartboard in my classroom has added a new layer of interactivity and accessibility to my teaching, enriching both the educational experience and student engagement.”
