Any need to display two screens (with different content) in classrooms?
Rarely do students need two screens to see the same content … would faculty use dual screens to display independent sources? For example, the main content plus secondary content such as white-board notes (via document camera), web-sites to support lecture notes, polling or back-channel comments or Q&A feed, associated video, or video chat.
In particular, we are wondering about the expected renovation of Draper 152, but the question has value for any classroom.
I am less likely to use two screens than I am to use one screen and a white board. I advocate that all of our classrooms provide the latter.
Thanks, Kevin. Two rooms are under consideration where the space planners and the AV designers do not think whiteboards will work due to room size. (Specifically, this is in Bennett Auditorium and Draper 152 – in the breezeway.)
Have you had occasion to use a document camera to serve as a whiteboard? The thinking among the designers (not users) is that using a document camera to a second screen is superior in many aspects to using a white board, especially in 100+ seat venues. We would love for you to try this in your current classroom(s) and continue the conversation. Thanks!
