Latest Smart-Lightboard Client Video

The Geek Narrator, Germany

We are happy to announce that our Smart-Lightboard solution is now being used globally as a way to take presentations to the next level. With presenters in countries from Tanzania to the US, Denmark, the UK and many others now creating engaging and interactive video presentations with the help of Smart-Lightboard technology.

The Smart-Lightboard takes the simplicity and proven effectiveness of the traditional Lightboard and combines that with an interactive, immersive, digital experience, taking video lectures, explainers and online training delivery to a whole new level. It also opens up many more possible use cases as it works with almost any application.

See how our recent client, The Geek Narrator, is leveraging the Smart-Lightboard to create amazing Technology and Software Engineering presentations.

Shedding Light on Student Learning Through the Use of Lightboard

Research by Georgia Southern University

Peter D. Rogers & Diana T. Botnaru

This recent study published in the International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning explored the impact of Lightboard videos on student learning and perceptions within a Flipped Classroom Model.

The Study

Researchers at Georgia Southern University in the USA conducted a mixed-methods study with 68 undergraduate civil engineering students. They compared student performance and perceptions in classes using Lightboard videos to those without them, while keeping other factors like the instructor, materials, and assessments the same.

The Key takeaways:

The study found an improvement in academic performance in the classes that used Lightboard videos.
Student surveys and quotes revealed positive perceptions of Lightboard videos, with students reporting increased understanding, engagement, and satisfaction.
Students also appreciated the collaborative problem-solving aspect of the Flipped Classroom Model.

Some student quotes included:

"I would recommend developing and using more Lightboard videos for this class."

"The videos helped me visualize the problem solving process."

"Overall, the Lightboard videos improved my understanding."

Smart-Lightboard™ v3.0 Enhancements

Introducing the latest product developments & updates

We are excited to announce that we will be releasing V3.0 of the Smart-Lightboard™ in April 2025. The principal areas of improvement are as follows:

Angled Lighting for Presenter

The design of the integrated presenter lighting has been improved through a new angled frame design which directs the light towards the presenter thereby improving illumination, while increasing efficiency with less light ‘spillage’ and reduced background reflection.

Next Gen Capacitive Touch Technology (<1mm Deviation)

We have replaced IR frame touch technology with Projected Capacitive Touch (PCT), which offers several advantages. PCT provides high accuracy, fast response times, and a toughened edge-to-edge glass display, ensuring excellent image clarity and durability. It delivers smoother gesture recognition, including multi-touch, enhancing interactivity. Unlike IR touch screens, which use an invisible grid of LED beams and sensors, PCT detects touch through changes in the capacitive field, ensuring precise touch detection and a more natural writing experience. PCT is used in OLED screens, tablets, smartphones, and interactive digital whiteboards. Our cutting-edge PCT technology offers <1mm deviation for ultimate accuracy, compared to typical Smartboards with >2mm deviation.
