Chalk and talk and interactive whiteboards

Last December I gave a talk to the E-Learning in Mathematical Subjects (ELMS) Seminar Series at Nottingham Trent University. This was based on an essay I wrote for my PGCHE on lecture delivery methods. It looks at chalk and talk methods vs. PowerPoint and winds up on some of the things that can be done with interactive whiteboards. You can watch my video on the ELMS website, also download my slides, etc. and view other ELMS talks through the website.

ELMS is something I have been involved with through my PhD in e-learning in maths at Nottingham Trent University. These aim to bring people together from around the university who teach mathematical content and have similar issues but no opportunity to otherwise meet, along with people who are interested in education and e-learning for research and those who work in e-learning support. We received funding from the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications in 2006 to support the seminars and allow videoing of these for distribution through the ELMS website at elms.org.uk. We also receive support from the Higher Education Academy Maths, Stats and OR Network who provide web space for the videos.
