All the “Smart” classes have a sympodium which allow you to write directly on your PowerPoint presentation, Word document, Excel file or whatever program you might be working on. Your writing can be saved into a pdf or html file for distribution to your students. But we at OET often hear that writing on the sympodium is awkward. Not really! There is a latch at the top back which let’s you adjust the height and put the sympodium in a horizontal position which makes it easier to write on. Contact OET for a demonstration.
This is extremely helpful when recording for distance students rather than writing on the whiteboard. Watch this demo of how using the whiteboard is ineffective when recording http://mediasite.ecu.edu/ah/Viewer/?peid=058fc7e59caf4b429620bdabbb83ca36
