Abstract
As technology is introduced to the classroom, traditional blackboards, whiteboards, and overhead transparencies are replaced by computer generated slides shown on high-resolution projectors. Automatic archiving and retrieving is used to capture the interaction in the classroom for students unable to physically attend class. When designing these tools, we believe that it is important to first understand the basic work practices of instructors using visual aids. We observed how instructors use boards as an aid for teaching and categorized different types of board uses. Using these observations we present some design guidelines to better build presentation software and distant learning tools.
