Note: Teaching and Learning Services (TLS) has sourced and acquired equipment to loan to instructors to help develop and teach online courses. Note that this is not an exhaustive list. This page attempts to guide instructors in using different methods for recording handwriting in their lectures. If you are lecturing using a slide stack and you’re looking to annotate your slides, you might turn to Kaltura’s annotations. However, if you were hoping to use an iPad and Apple Pencil, because you’re used to it or you want an infinite scroll, that might be the best option for you. If you’re looking for a lower-tech option, you might decide to use a document camera to write with markers on a piece of paper. The bottom line is that it largely depends on preference, comfort level, and goal. Just like there are many reasons why you might want to record handwriting, there are many ways to accomplish the task.

However, in online learning, we need to be a little more creative. In a face-to-face environment, an instructor might decide to do this using the blackboard. Demonstrating how to do hand calculations is best done by drawing out the process by hand.

The first instance that comes to mind is teaching formulae. There are many reasons why instructors might want to record their handwriting during a lecture. Best Practices for Creating Quality Educational Videos.Pedagogical Practices for Lecture Videos.Record and Upload with Personal Capture.
