How to Make a Low Cost Lightboard for Online Teaching

A lightboard is a transparent dry erase board that allows the instructor to face the camera while lecturing. I've been teaching online during the pandemic and made a low cost lightboard out of acrylic glass and other low cost or on-hand materials. It’s possible to bring an in-person feeling and sense of community to remote learning. Watch as I give an introduction on how to make a low cost lightboard, which could be made from repurposed acrylic glass.
