In terms of technology, I incorporate both electronic things and software. As it appears today, I and my colleagues send online from our offices. We are able to book classroom for sending. There is better equipment such as document camera and microphone to avoid headset. However, there is nowhere I can write on a whiteboard while I'm online.
Having good sound and light is very important in online courses. Students can connect well from the phone when it comes to listening, but when you have to be active, you need a computer and good sound.
As I teach mathematics, I also need a great way to share course participants calculations made on paper. So far, I've done it by havinh the students taking photos or scanning with the phone.
There is also a papperblock called Whitelines that works great.
I am constantly looking for equipment that would benefit teaching online.
Below are a number of links to technology that helps.
Wow Ewa-Charlotte, that was a huge list (but the links works only now and then for me). I also realized that I'm missing the opportunity to write and draw on a white-board. Obviously, the need is far greater in maths! I really like to illustrate what Im talking about, or draw figures and text to review and organize the discussion. Keybord and mouse is a little too restricted. The lightboard solution was incredible, but I think I need something more portable that work during everyday online meetings. Perhaps it might be enough to live-stream the piece of paper and switch between face and paper view.
