The document discusses using a Smart Board in distance education. It defines a Smart Board as an interactive electronic whiteboard that can enhance instruction and learning. It then outlines several key advantages of using a Smart Board in distance education, such as increasing student engagement and motivation, allowing digital resources to be shared communally, and archiving class sessions. However, it also notes limitations, such as high costs and difficulty of use and installation. The document provides examples of how Smart Boards have been used successfully in distance education classrooms to connect locations and bridge resource gaps. It evaluates different factors involved in using Smart Boards for distance learning.

2. Outline: Overview How to use SB in DE? How SB support DE? Real Experiences Application

3. Definition The SMART Board is a interactive, electronic whiteboard which can enhance instruction and learning .

4. Objectives of using SB in DE. Deliver the curriculum in more interactive and interesting way. Create two resources that include saving text and adding pages to SMART Notebook files. Enhance the instructional process. Motivate the student at the distance. Grab the student attention. Engage different student learning style. Increase the delivery quality

5. Features of SB: Touch - Sensitive Surface SMART Pen Tray Projected and Non-Project Modes OptiPro™ Surface Bezel Finish Wall-Mount Bracket SMART Ideas® Software

6. Advantages of using SB in DE: Utilize digital resources while still directly interacting with the classroom Use computer-based learning with a communal screen, not individual computers Increase learner motivation. Student engagement enhances retention, Save and archive a class session, unlike a traditional white board

7. Limitation of using SB: Too expensive. Difficult to use at the beginning Difficult to install and management.

8. Application Do you imagine to use it?? You will say it is expensive Don’t worry We have the solution Check it out http :// www . youtube . com / watch?v = OgFxqXw3ock

9. How to use SB in DE? Collaboration between videoconferencing and smart board. Weintraub said” We're using SMART Boards, videoconferencing, and course delivery software at each location to enhance the course and the students will follow the class presentation as it appears on their own SMART Board . ”

10. Con.. Two SMART Boards at different locations can be connected to each other such that any information presented on one appears on the other simultaneously

11. How SB support DE? Bring the outside world into the classroom: linking one classroom to another with videoconferencing, and that make different classes work together.

12. How SB support DE? Bridges the gap between the haves and the have-nots in a cost-effective way. “ We find we can pool resources by using videoconferencing and our interactive whiteboards because what one class may not have in the way of resources, another class may” explains Armstrong

13. How SB support DE? Document what happen in the class and make it is available to the students and instructors.

14. Real Experience Wiegand said “My students are completely engaged about what they are learning, seeing, Having the SMART Board has transformed my teaching and allowed me to go to the next level. I can’t imagine teaching now without one!”

16. Concerns raised by researchers and distance students/tutors about SB: How to engaged/motivate distance learners by using SB? How to make distance instructor use SB effectively? How to overcome the limitations of smart board?

17. Evaluatation Time of interaction Synchronous Asynchronous Type of interaction Student-student Student-teacher Student-content Student-machine Learning style Group-based Self-based learning Flexibility Anytime Anyplace Ease of access/use Speed Development Feedback Delivery Instruction Stand-alone medium Multimedia support Cost
