USC professor’s DIY online teaching hack to engage students goes viral (2020)
If I may be so bold and share a relevant plug... As teachers (and parents of children affected by various versions of remote education last year), our team came up with <a href="https://sharetheboard.com" rel="nofollow">https://sharetheboard.com</a><p>The idea is simple: our app identifies and digitizes handwritten content in real time, ignoring any obstacles in the way (like people). The result: $0 light board that you can use anywhere (e.g., with a piece of paper).<p>Digital annotations by viewers are coming in July, so it's as close to shared remote whiteboarding as you can get. And again, no new/dedicated hardware needed: not fancy cameras, not LED strips, not even whiteboards; just a laptop (and soon, a smartphone).<p>Looks like there are a lot of folks on this thread looking to solve similar problems. Would love some feedback; thanks in advance.
