Employing Technology to aid Teaching and Learning Process

Dr. Steven is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine, Division of Rheumatology at the University of Calgary. He trained at the University of Western Ontario and the University of Calgary and has been a medical educator for four years. He is currently in charge of the resident trainee assessment program and continuing professional development program in the Division of Rheumatology with the Department of Medicine at the University of Calgary.

Due to the nature of Steven’s job, he used the IPEVO Document Camera to facilitate in-person teaching of the Anatomy course. Before Steven’s contact with IPEVO products, the class was traditionally divided into small in-person group sessions and often employed a personally written test to assess student’s performance.

With the IPEVO VZ-R, Steven has been able to put diagrams onto a whiteboard using a projector. The camera permits students to label structures while their other peers can watch and share their opinions. The result of this learning process is access to better information, speed, learning, and retention. Students can also think their ideas through and teach their fellow peers too.

The current global pandemic increased the need for devices like the IPEVO VZ-R. In Steven’s words:

“I can only imagine how teaching would have been and the difficulty with student’s assimilation, if not for this product. I have had to re-imagine how physical examination techniques are demonstrated.”

With creating a maximum impact while teaching anatomy physically now being an impossibility, the document camera has become an integral part of virtual physical exam teaching. This is because, with it, Steven demonstrates hand and finger positions in real-time with his VZ-R.

This is in addition to other cameras capturing more extensive maneuvers or displaying educational content simultaneously. After discovering that with the Document Camera, he could use real-time physical anatomy models to illustrate the mechanism of an exam technique. Steven compared it with his previous methods and said:

“If I were to rely solely on static images in a PowerPoint presentation, the process would be less organic. I couldn’t respond to learner questions in real-time by manipulating a model in the document camera. Worse yet, a pre-recorded video would technically present the same material but has no learner engagement or opportunity for questions.”

Steven thinks that there is no point in comparing a document camera and a purpose-built streaming studio in either cost or ease of use. With much less cost and technical training to implement a document camera versus a proper studio with several expensive cameras, audio equipment, and monitors and mixers, he believes that the document camera makes a great addition to a home or office teaching setting.

After using the VZ-R, Steven thinks that the investment is worthwhile. The pandemic restrictions have further increased the need for virtual learning activities, and to him, there is much to be gained from some level of remote learning and coping with the new normal. The IPEVO VZ-R is his recommended product to all individuals and institutions looking to teach with ease without feeling a loss of connection between the learners and the teachers.

Bringing online visual facilitation courses up-close and in-person with visual communication tools

Based in Germany and having trainers across the world, Bikablo is a pioneer laboratory and training center for hand-drawn visualization and visual thinking, learning, and collaboration.

As an ever-growing number of people are using visualization to secure common knowledge, explain strategies and processes, connect specialists, and develop smarter products, Bikablo, with its unique visual training programs, is helping about 6,500 people annually (numbers are pre-covid) to achieve this.

Visualization forms the core of Bikablo’s training programs, so it was second nature to its founder, Martin Haussmann, who used an IPEVO document camera for his video calls to capture, visualize, and share content back in 2016. And it was at this point in time that another member of Bikablo, Frank Wesseler, was introduced to IPEVO.

Frank, who joined the Bikablo family as a trainer for visual facilitation and now the contact person for Bikablo’s global training program, shares his initial thoughts of using the IPEVO document camera:

“I immediately loved it and purchased my own. In the beginning, I used it in the same way, and we have also been using it during presentations in classroom settings to present just using pieces of paper that we moved back and forth in order to bring specific contents across. The audience loved it as it was so different from the usual PowerPoint.”

And until today, Frank is still an avid IPEVO user:

“Today, I cannot imagine working without it. I use it during each and every virtual workshop for developing content together with the audience on paper, using visual facilitation.”

Before acquiring the IPEVO document camera, Frank was either using a webcam or DSLR camera for his work, and he explains the difficulties he encountered when he needs to zoom in to show details, and the convenience that the IPEVO document camera brings:

“It was very difficult to use hand-drawn visuals in virtual settings. We used flipcharts and moved the camera closer to the flip, yet it is a lot easier now with the document camera.

When we teach people how to visualize in virtual workshops, the close-ups we can get with the IPEVO products are very supportive. Being able to zoom into the details (without having to move the camera) is a feature that our participants benefit from a lot.”

Thanks to the IPEVO document camera, not only can Frank enjoy more versatility but also get more in-person with the participants of his virtual workshops:

“I can now use a camera angle that I was not able to use before and am more versatile in my virtual work. I am now able to bring more of the hands-on analogue Bikablo style and spirit and the attitude of simplicity and personal closeness to virtual work.”

In addition, the quality, build, and innovative design of IPEVO products are what appeal strongly to Frank. When asked whether or not he would recommend IPEVO products to other visual trainers or practitioners, Frank answers:

“Yes! I really like the quality. The camera is very sturdy. Today, I own several IPEVO products and each one of them seems like it is built to last. I also really like the innovative thinking, e.g, with the Mirror-Cam and the simple solutions to seemingly difficult situations. A colleague of mine has been using one of the IPEVO cameras for ages and it still works like a charm.”

Visual communication tools hand in hand when supporting special education

LetaAnn Miller is a special education teacher in the largest school district in the state of Georgia. Prior to teaching, LetaAnn spent eight years working with individuals with autism and other developmental differences in schools, homes, virtual, and community settings. Having such an opportunity afforded LetaAnn the ability to develop various perspectives of learning, teaching, and supporting students prior to the pandemic and strengthened the desire to find solutions to teaching digitally.

Despite being faced with multiple challenges during the pandemic, both the V4K and iDocCam software have allowed LetaAnn to transition to online teaching with ease while still retaining the engaging element of her teaching.

“When teachers were introduced to IPEVO, it allowed teachers to manipulate the camera’s view, split screens between instructional material, teacher view, and more. Also, it allowed teachers more flexibility in movement while teaching. For instance, once I had the IPEVO software, I could bend my document camera to where it was standing up so my students could see me standing and teaching and not sitting behind a screen without using multiple devices and trying to juggle platforms. Also, it allowed me to manage students and behavior more effectively and provide students with more reinforcement while teaching. Such a simple “tech hack” with the addition of software and materials already provided in the classroom allowed for better teaching without an added financial burden on individuals.”

Before integrating IPEVO products into her teaching, LetaAnn explains:

“Despite having many plans to boost student engagement and learning during digital instruction, doing such a task initially involved multiple components of technology and many pieces of equipment. Expanding the steps to provide quality instruction also expanded the room for error and for technological blips. Witnessing struggles in classrooms I supported and within my own lessons, I easily recognized the need for a more streamlined process of technology.”

LetaAnn saw both efficiency and engagement rise considerably, resulting in a much better experience all around. She explains:

“With the addition of the IPEVO products, I was able to eliminate multiple steps of meeting with students online, providing instruction and sharing materials. This afforded opportunities for varied instruction and building stronger connections with all students.”

As an passionate and dedicated educator, LetaAnn was successful in utilizing IPEVO products for not only herself but also for the whole county. She summarizes:

“When considering life over the past year, returning to big pictures, struggles, and deficits is easy. Conversely, when moments of success or improvements are broken apart and considered for every piece, the magnitude of its impact is amplified. I am beyond grateful for the addition of IPEVO to our county, school, and classroom. Not only did their customer service team go above and beyond to troubleshoot issues and develop a meaningful connection when interactions with others are vastly different, they provided educators, students, and families with meaningful change and lasting impact.“

5 ideas on how to use a Wireless Document Camera to improve your lecture

The IPEVO VZ-X , a wireless document camera, is revolutionizing how lectures are taken. The VZ-X features three connection modes, namely Wi-Fi, HDMI, and USB. You can also use it with a computer, iOS/ Android devices, or directly with a projector or TV.

Now, let’s look at five ways you can use the IPEVO VZ-X to improve your lecture.

  1. Interactively in a small classroom

Say you are teaching a small classroom and you fancy showing each student’s work to the members of the class. All you need is the Wireless Document Camera, VZ-X, and a big screen. You can hold the VZ-X in your hand, walk around the class while showcasing it on the big screen.

Thanks to the Wi-Fi connectivity, you won’t have to deal with wire, and with a battery life of up to 12 hours, you can have a productive and interactive class or session without interruption.

  1. For a bigger setting

When in a bigger setting, the VZ-X can also be utilized. Thanks to the Wi-Fi mode, speakers can connect their device to the VZ-X and move around freely without having to worry about cables. So, that way, speakers can have their work displayed on bigger screens in the auditorium for all to see.

  1. Online learning

You can also use the VZ-X as a webcam for video conferencing or remote learning/teaching via third-party communication software like Zoom, teams, and skype. You are not restrained by cable as you can connect the VZ-X to your device through Wi-Fi without interrupting your internet connectivity.

To stay connected to your network while using VZ-X in Wi-Fi mode, see the step-by-step guide here.

  1. Connect wirelessly to your iPad and make annotations with the help of the IPEVO WHITEBOARD

With both the VZ-X and the  IPEVO WHITEBOARD App, you can take learning and presentations to the next level. With IPEVO Whiteboard, you can expand your wireless freedom to the maximum. It is a software that lets you make and share annotations, pictures, objects, text, and screens even as you present them.

All you have to do is connect the VZ-X via Wi-Fi to an iPad using the IPEVO Whiteboard, and then you can begin to annotate. But that is not all; you can also record both audio and video as well as take snapshots. It is also possible to display through a large audience when you present on a big screen — of course, with no wire to deal with.

Features and tools that make the IPEVO Whiteboard PRO an interesting software include 20 background templates, disappearing ink, browser window, add a map, picture-in-picture, laser pointer, and many more.

  1. Pair the VZ-X with the IPEVO Visualizer

The IPEVO Visualizer lets you display, record, and modify the video feed from a computer camera. When you pair it with the VZ-X, you can begin to visualize things in a new way. You can add additional value to your lecture with features like reading aids, split-screen, picture-in-picture, slow-motion, and many more.

With the reading aid feature, you have access to additional tools like the line marker, highlight strip, magnifier, and masking.

The split-screen feature lets you use more than one camera in presentations for side-by-side comparisons of different materials.

Picture-in-picture is another feature of the Visualizer you will find interesting. For video recording or live presentation, you can use the main window to show your presentation and the pinned overlay window to show yourself talking it through. Slow-motion recording lets you record in slow motion.

IPEVO Whiteboard lets you share and annotate your materials, text, screens, pictures, and objects as you present them. Once you connect your IPEVO wireless document camera via WIFI to an iPad or tablet using IPEVO Whiteboard, you can then begin to display, draw, adjust, and annotate on a live image.

The app is interactive and also lets you take snapshots, record videos and audios while annotating. Suppose you are delivering to a large audience. In that case, you can also transform it into a large presentation on a projection screen — all you need to project a live image is your existing project and Apple TV or Chromecast, and you are underway with no wires.

Do more with the improved IPEVO whiteboard for Ipads

IPEVO Whiteboard is revolutionizing the way we make presentations, and with the new updates on iOS, life just got better.

The erase tool also allows you to make adjustments and continue with the tap of a finger.

Another feature of the IPEVO Whiteboard is the file management library. You can create new whiteboards, import images, and create text files so you can type. The new update makes organizing your files seamless.

One of the things that make IPEVO Whiteboard safe to use is that you don’t need your personal information before using the software. So, you don’t need any registration to get started. All the pictures and videos taken are also stored on the local drive, and should you feel you no longer need the app, you can easily uninstall it.

How to turn your smartphone into a document camera with the new IPEVO Uplift

IPEVO’s iDocCam app has transformed access to education and remote working around the world. Even during these unprecedented times, the app has empowered teachers with the ability to instantly share live images so that lessons continue uninterrupted. And with its unique features for the visually impaired, the app has allowed for inclusive and accessible collaboration across both the educational and professional sectors.

And now, IPEVO has enhanced the iDocCam app with the release of its hardware counterpart: the new IPEVO Uplift Multi-angle Arm for Smartphones.

Introducing the new IPEVO Uplift Multi-angle Arm

IPEVO’s new Uplift is a sturdy, but flexible arm that transforms smartphones into a highly functional document camera, especially when paired with the IPEVO iDocCam app. Below are the steps to transforming any cellphone into a document camera:

  1. Download the free IPEVO Visualizer software to your computer.
  2. Download the IPEVO iDocCam app to your smartphone and connect it to Visualizer.
  3. Place the IPEVO Uplift to the most optimal place on your desk. The IPEVO Uplift is equipped with a metal base while its multi-jointed body is made of aluminum alloy, so it can be moved easily but will not wobble when touched by accident.
  4. Insert the phone into the smartphone holder, which is located at the end of the Uplift’s multi-jointed arm. To do that, please use the edge of your phone to support one of the clamps and carefully pull the other clamp in the opposite direction with your free hand. When the distance between the clamps is sufficient, please insert your phone carefully. The camera of your phone should not be obstructed by the Uplift’s body and should be facing away from the Uplift’s body.
  5. In order to capture a wider area, you can increase the distance between the camera lens and your desk by moving the Uplift’s arm into a more upright position. The IPEVO Uplift fits any cellphone up to 3.8 inches (98mm) wide.

With a head that rotates 360 degrees, users can switch easily between vertical and horizontal orientation. Users can also switch from showing their desk to showing themselves in an instant.

Real-Life Examples

Ross Morrison McGill is the founder of @TeacherToolkit and the “most followed teacher on social media in the UK.” He describes the IPEVO Uplift as both a cheaper alternative to a visualizer and “something worth having on your classroom desk.” Watch how Ross uses the new Uplift to enhance classroom learning:

Kathy Schrock, an educational technologist, often demonstrates how the new IPEVO Uplift and iDocCam App can be used for demonstrating a science experiment or basketball move, for creating a stop-motion animation or recorded video, and for showcasing a page in a book or textbook, among other things:

About IPEVO
IPEVO makes versatile teaching tools instead of specialized “classroom equipment”.
We go beyond the usual conventions of classroom technology—large, expensive, specialized and complex—to rethink simple and flexible solutions for interactive teaching in today’s classrooms.
IPEVO’s interactive teaching tools empower educators and teachers with radically affordable and compact technology that is simple, intuitive and flexible, so that precious time and resources can be wholly dedicated to teaching. We intend to make educational technology accessible and available to all.
