Research has identified key reasons why the lightboard is such an effective learning tool
Gaze Guidance
This is where people learn better from a video lecture when the onscreen instructor shifts gaze between the audience and board whilst lecturing, as opposed to only looking at the audience or board.
Dynamic Drawing Principle
This states that people learn better from a video lecture when the onscreen instructor draws graphics on a board while lecturing, rather than referring to already drawn graphics
Facial Expression & Gestures
Facial Expression and Gestures: The Lightboard takes advantage of the presenter’s personal style (gestures and speech) as they are continuously facing their audience. This allows them to better connect with and engage their audience and increase the retention of information.
