Student Presentation (No formal paper)

**Using an Ink Pen for Traditional and Online Learning** //W. Darlene Gray, Graduate Student, Instructional Design and Development, University of South Alabama, Mobile, AL, USA, wdg601@jaguar1.usouthal.edu //

This presentation is a roundtable discussion on how to more effectively incorporate the instructor's use of a SmartPen in a developmental mathematics course to give students more opportunity to simply listen to the instruction without having to keep up while trying to take notes. The drawback is that the pen requires the use of special paper. Currently the instructor uses the SmartPen and an electronic digital presenter to teach developmental mathematics concepts and objectives. This allows the instructor to record both what is written and spoken by the instructor and also what is said by the students. At the conclusion of class each day the instructor can upload the entire class either as a flash movie (also as a link in Facebook), where students can hear and see what was taught and said during class, and/or as a pdf version of the notes for students to print. Are there other applications that can be used by the SmartPen to make the developmental mathematics instruction more effective, are there other means of displaying the recorded sessions that allow for easy access for the students, and are there other instructional technologies that can be used in conjunction with the SmartPen?
