Demonstrates how to connect different type of peripherals (external camera, VCR, laptop, document camera etc.) to the video inputs on the codec

Shows different ways of using a document camera in a video conference

A brief historical introduction to the document camera - from the old overhead projector to an advanced document camera

Demonstrates how to place the camera close to the screen as to maintain eye contact with the camera

Demonstrates how a camera mounted in a classroom should be positioned to allow eye contact with the students

How to orient the microphone relative to the speaker as to achieve a consistent sound level

How to use wireless microphones to avoid the problems of table-top microphones

A quick overview of the different connectors and cables used to attach peripherals to a codec

Gives an introduction to pressure-sensitive digital whiteboards

Demonstrates the use of normal whiteboards equipped with ultrasonic or infrared sensors to transfer whiteboard notes to a computer

Demonstrates various tools for writing text on a pressure-sensitive whiteboard

This video demonstrates how the digital whiteboard's built-in functions can be used to draw geometric shapes

Shows how to import ../../images and internet pages into a digital whiteboard document

Demonstrates how to export documents from a digital whiteboard into a format suitable for publishing on the web

Most digital whiteboards come with a collection of images and clipart called a gallery. This video suggest some ways to use the gallery in a teaching enviroment

This video highlights the problem of filming a person in front of an illuminated surface, as the subject will become very dark. We suggest a work-around solution for this

Here we join in on a video lecture in physics

Shows a concrete way of achieving interaction in a video lecture. The participants are given an assignment by the lecturer, and present their answer on a flipover

An example of how noise levels can reach intolerable heights during a video conference, due to unwanted chatting, paper shuffling etc.

In this video we join in on a physics lecture in which the lecturer uses a digital whiteboard. We also look at how the classroom is designed to accomodate the use of a digital whiteboard (e.g. how to position video projectors)
