I periodically conduct a short workshop featuring
techniques and resources for using document cameras in support of online
teaching. Here are some of the main advantages I like to discuss in these workshops:
Techniques
- Picture-in-picture synchronous teaching
- Doc-Casting
- Personalized assessment: voice and color-annotated feedback
- Scanning (e.g., PDF preparation)
- Digital stills
- Live demonstration toolset: presentation and annotation
Strategies
- Aiming at the Abstract: Visualization
- Use / Re-use (make it once, use it many times)
- Time-saving (efficiency)
Document cameras can do so much in support of
online teaching—so much so that these devices should become a required part of
the online instructor’s basic equipment toolkit.
