“…It also requires that the lecturer to remember to start and stop the recording process, something difficult to remember to do when focusing on teaching. The DEBBIE system [3] has playback capacity similar to Camtasia but enables each student's work to be saved. Unfortunately, DEBBIE restricts users to a specific program and requires classrooms to be equipped for tablets.…”

Our research into automatic recording of the complete classroom experience has led to the development of many software systems, one of which captures an image stream of all content presented on a computer. We have just completed a first deployment of this computer capture system in which 3 separate courses were recorded for an entire semester with the content being presented to students within 24 hours of the class meeting time. This system has been envisioned as a component of a complete lecture capture system but a component with real value even when used as a stand alone. In this paper we discuss student feedback to this computer capture system, revision of system functionality, and thoughts on the usefulness of capturing computer content in computer science courses in general.

“…The Classroom 2000 project [1] was the seminal one in the area, with other more recent classroom collaboration projects including Active Class [10] and Debbie [4]. Our work has been using Classroom Presenter [2] [12]; other Tablet PC based approaches include Ubiquitous Presenter [13] (an extension of Classroom Presenter) and DyKnow [5].…”

This paper describes an application of classroom technology in support of teaching through the use of examples and active learning techniques. Here we report on using Classroom Presenter, a Tablet PC based classroom interaction system, in a senior level course in Algorithms -a domain for which the instructor believes working on sample problems is critical to student learning in the classroom. The role of the technology was to integrate activities into the lecture so that students have the opportunity to work with concrete examples in class, while the instructor can collect and review student work in real time, incorporating selected student answers into the discussion. In this paper, we describe the pedagogical goals of the instructor, the types of activities used to achieve those goals, and the role that technology played in supporting those goals and activities. The contributions of the paper are in showing how classroom technology can be used to support pedagogical choices, as well as in emphasizing the value of having clear pedagogical goals when incorporating a new technology in the classroom. We believe the application of technology as illustrated in this work could bring similar benefits to the instruction in other disciplines.

There has been much research on the benefits of active and collaborative learning and on its use in computer science courses. As classroom technology becomes more prevalent it is natural to develop systems that support the use of these techniques. We have developed such a system as an extension to Classroom Presenter [2], a Tablet PC-based presentation system. In our system students (or groups of students) are equipped with tablet computers and at various points during the lecture, are asked to solve a problem or respond to a question. Students respond by writing their solution on the tablet and submitting it wirelessly to the instructor. The instructor can view all student responses, select one or more to display to the class, and annotate responses with ink as they are being displayed. Student responses can be saved for review after lecture by the instructor or made available electronically to the students. In this paper we describe the system and our initial experiences using the system in two classes (CS1 and Computer Ethics) at the University of San Diego in Fall 2003.
