I have one of these very versatile little tablets on my desk right now ($69). Good or bad, the iPevo document camera accurately captures your handwriting, which is a major benefit. Another benefit is that you can use it to demonstrate 3D models or other objects, however, you cannot use it to illustrate or diagram on websites or images you may have on the computer screen. One of our faculty has used it effectively in a statistics course for Chemistry. The hand is also the downside, as the camera has an automatic white balance and the color shifts as you move your hand in and out of the frame. The plus is that you already know how to write on a sheet of paper, this simply records a video of everything, including your hand. iPevo Document Cameraįor a mere $69, you can grab the iPevo document camera and point it at a sheet of paper and simply write away.

I will focus primarily on the hardware for this post, the software is worthy of another complete discussion. This presents a particular challenge when creating screencasts for online delivery, which requires a combination of hardware and software. My courses are computationally intensive and often require the professor to write equations or diagrams on a white board.
