Abstract

We have developed and deployed a lecture presentation system in which the instructor uses a Tablet PC as a presentation device. The system was deployed in six university courses in Autumn 2002 and has been favorably received by students and instructors. In our system, the instructor holds a pen-based computer that is wirelessly networked with another computer driving the classroom projector. The instructor displays slides from the tablet and can write on top of them. Various navigation and control facilities are available.
