When to Use?
The Lightboard is an innovative tool that allows instructors to write while still facing their students. When the markers write on the board they appear to glow, this allows faculty to create engaging visuals that will help drive home instruction. If you are interested in trying out the Lightboard and would like to schedule a recording, submit a ticket to through service portal.
Lightboards are available on the Allendale Campus in the Kindschi Hall of Science (KHS), downtown in the College of Health Sciences (CHS) and the Seidman College of Business (SCB).
