“…To help teachers who have difficulty adapting to new technologies but who are currently forced not to give up their preferred teaching method (chalk and blackboard), a software application (Auto-Director) has been developed that is freely available to schools and teaching institution, or even to single teachers, as an aid in shooting and distributing lessons held on the blackboard in real time. Although systems that allow to "digitize" writing on the blackboard (with the use of appropriate sensors) [14] have already been proposed, Auto-Director, having been developed as an emergency solution, aims at providing an extremely affordable and easy to implement solution.…”

Using technology in Covid-19 time's classroom is a given. Many teachers, how-ever, prefer to use chalkboards both because they have difficulty adapting to new methods and because they believe teaching with a chalkboard is more effective. Writing with chalk on a blackboard makes it easier to control the pace of a lecture because it induces to talk while writing, thus giving to the students the time to as-similate new information and to take notes properly. To make it possible for teachers to continue lecturing with this method but in dis-tance learning mode, as required by the anti-Covid-19 provisions, an easy and in-expensive automatic shooting system has been developed, that can be used by schools and universities with minimum effort. To take advantage of the devel-oped software, it is sufficient to have a smartphone (or a webcam) and a PC, without the need for other expensive hardware. The method has been experiment-ed and found to be very effective in our department with a number of colleagues completely relying on it to deliver classes.
