Light Board 101

• A light board is a “glass chalkboard pumped full of light” (Peshkin).

• The clear, bright writing shows up much better than it does on a regular whiteboard- with little to no post production editing needed.

• Slides, pictures, and videos can be projected on to the screen.

• The students are able to see the instructor and the lecture notes- the instructor’s body is not blocking the text.

Examples

DYI

• There are not any commercial versions available at this time, so a lightboard is a DIY project.

• Because it is DIY, a lightboard can be customized for the institutions needs and cost constraints. There are many different ways to construct a lightboard.

Tutorial• There are two great online tutorials that Catherine

recommends.

• Northwestern

• Duke University (the one we used!)
