IV) Instructional Examples (Use Cases) > Problem Solving & Problem Sets

a) Introducing & Solving Example Problems

The video clip below is an example of an instructor introducing a certain type of problem (in this case, a pulley and block problem) and writing out an example of one to solve. For STEM disciplines, the Lightboard is ideal for writing out problem parameters, diagrams, and equations, as an instructor would do on a chalkboard.

b) Incorporating Gesture Into Problem Solving

The video clip below is an example of an instructor using a hand mnemonic (in this case, the right-hand rule) to figure out the next step in the problem being presented.

A note about right-hand rule in particular: as the instructor behind the Lightboard, you would actually have to use your left hand to make it look like it's your right hand, due to Wirecast flipping the image in the video capture. If you are a physics instructor covering this topic, you may need to practice your gestures in advance!
