Abstract

In this paper, we discuss an advance in technology-aided instruction. Not limited as in the past to PowerPoint-based or white board-centered electronic ink applications, the new tool, WriteOn, allows the instructor to use electronic ink to annotate on top of any application visible on the tablet PC display screen. WriteOn has been successfully used in the teaching of program design and development techniques in introductory computer engineering and computer science classes. This paper describes the experience of the lecturer as well as the students in using WriteOn in a class that teaches the fundamentals of software engineering to computer science and computer engineering students.
