Abstract
For many centuries the chalkboard has been the primary means of communication in the classroom, recently augmented by the overhead projector. These media provide one-way communication: from the lecturer to the students. We describe a prototype system, called the Lecturer's Assistant, which as its main feature enables graphic communication from the students to the lecturer and other students. This capability allows students to easily ask questions or present ideas without leaving their seats. The Lecturer's Assistant also provides the lecturer with a complete electronic environment for the preparation, presentation, and subsequent editing of classroom overheads. The system is designed to be portable and inexpensive to enable widespread usage in the nation's university classrooms.

Virtual Omnibus Lecture: Investigating the Effects of Varying Lecturer Avatars as Environmental Context on Audience Memory
AHs '23: Proceedings of the Augmented Humans International Conference 2023We propose a novel form of remote lecturing, Virtual Omnibus Lecture, in which one lecturer gives a lecture by changing his/her virtual avatars, giving students the experience of being lectured by multiple lecturers. Because previous studies have shown ...
Applying ARCS model for enhancing and sustaining learning motivation in using robot as teaching assistant
Edutainment'11: Proceedings of the 6th international conference on E-learning and games, edutainment technologiesAlthough many researchers have pointed out that educational robots can stimulate learners' learning motivation, learning motivation will be inevitably decreased over time if the amusement just came from the new technology itself. Accordingly, learners ...
