Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to Electrical and Computer Engineering education at Ryerson University. First, the board is eliminated all together, using a Tablet PC. Handwriting recognition software is used to display any notes and diagrams that were originally intended on a board. Next, the lecture has its desktop video, and audio through a microphone, captured in real-time using CamStudio, an open source video capturing tool, while simultaneously addressing the class. After, the video captures are placed on a public video sharing website, where students may access the videos at any time, to review lectures as if they were physically in the lecture on that day. The overall averages for the courses currently taught by the author, in comparison to the previous years, has raised by roughly 8%, demonstrating that this method of education is sufficiently better, and significantly improves the learning process.
