“A Mobile "Smart Classroom" for Local and Remote
Presentation”
Please join us on Friday,
26 January, 10:00am – 11:00am Pacific Time for a live presentation
and discussion featuring Joan H. Brenner, Professor of Physics and
Astronomy, Bunker Hill Community College, Boston, Massachusetts
and John F. (Jeff) Brenner, PhD, Founder and CEO, Space Time Links
LLC, Reading Massachusetts.
Abstract: The "Mobile Smart Classroom" system employs
a tablet computer and projector for presentations with live, in-class
annotation, and adds a "cluster" of tablets to allow students
to edit documents and work problems individually, in class, then
share the results with others under the control of the instructor.
All annotated materials are quickly made available on a server for
later student access. They system can be used in a wide variety
of teaching scenarios: e.g. classroom presentation, distance learning,
virtual office hours, and in-class interactive sessions aimed at
problem solving, document editing, and science laboratory exercises.
We will share our experience and the student responses we have received
over the last two years from using the system in freshman physics
and astronomy.
