Irwin Library will be closed this summer for HVAC updates. The Marjorie Rork Lightboard will reopen on August 1, 2022.
For alternatives and at-home solutions to the Lightboard, view the iLightboard, Touch-Screen PC, and Wacom pages on this LibGuide.
iLightboard is a beta app from the MADLab (Mobile Application Development Lab) at the University of Toronto. The app runs on iOS.
Similar to Butler's Lightboard Studio, the iLightboard app records instructor video using the iPad webcam and overlaid instructor annotations. Instead of drawing on a glass board, instructors annotate directly on the iPad screen over the video recording. PDFs can be imported and slides can be pre-populated with content prior to recording. When the recording is finished, it saves to Photos; instructors can then upload the video to their course's Panopto folder or other video hosting site.
To use iLightboard, the following equipment is needed:
Contact the Center for Academic Technology (cat@butler.edu) to check availability for these items and schedule an equipment pickup time.
Note: iLightboard has a blur feature turned on that blurs the screen when you get close to make your annotations. If you prefer to turn this off, select the Settings gear and turn off Auto-Blur.
For presentation slide overlays, Keynote is the recommended software for creating the original presentation.
