Now that you've booked the Lightboard Studio, there are a few things you should do to prepare for your visit.

Before You Arrive

  • Get familiar with the Lightboard Studio guidance attached to this article.
  • Clothing Guidance: 
     
    • Don't wear lettering – it will appear backward. 
       
    • Do wear solid, darker colors - This makes the writing display more clearly in front of presenters. 
       
    • Don’t wear all black - you’ll look like a floating head. : )
       
  • If using PowerPoint:
     
    • Set all backgrounds to BLACK.  
       
    • Place any graphics to the side of your dominant hand for easier annotation.
       
    • Want help formatting your slide deck? Submit a DesignPro ticket here: http://cis.cmich.edu/designpro and the CIS Graphic Designer will format your slides for you! Be sure to clarify if you're right or left handed. 

During Presentation

  • Write on the side of your dominant hand, then step to the side to instruct. Don't stand directly behind your writing while instructing if possible. 
     
  • Don't press the markers too hard, it will make a sqeaky sound. Learn to write gently for a quiet presentation.
     
  • Look at the camera’s red light while instructing. This will help your viewers feel like you're talking directly to them. 
     
  • If you make a mistake, DON'T STOP RECORDING. Just pause for a few seconds, take a breath, and start the segment again. Then afterward, use Panopto's web-based editor to remove/edit the mistake. It's easy and can be helpful for longer presentations. For shorter presentations, you may find it's just easier to do another take.
     
  • If using PPT, slides may be advanced during recording using the keypad next to the marker tray.
