In this paper, we discuss an advance in technology-aided instruction. Not limited as in the past to PowerPoint-based or white board-centered electronic ink applications, the new tool, WriteOn, allows the instructor to use electronic ink to annotate on top of any application visible on the tablet PC display screen. This tool can be useful in improving both the presentation of information as well as the interactivity in classroom instruction. Previous research in this area led to the development of tools that are PowerPoint ® -based applications, or electronic ink-based alone applications. Some allowed the presenter to broadcast slides and electronic ink to class while others are simply a presentation tool. Previous applications do not allow the presenter to annotate contents displayed or executing on the screen, nor to simultaneously broadcast the desktop screen activity. Using WriteOn, the instructor can choose to broadcast the dynamic screen contents along with electronic ink in real-time. Alternatively, the WriteOn user can save the ink annotations and desktop activity as a movie file (or individual screen captures) and then later broadcast these files to the students. Students receiving the broadcast presentation may save the file on their local machine. WriteOn is also capable of recording audio captured on the presenter’s machine and synchronize it to the annotation ink strokes. Using WriteOn, the instructor can enhance the real time experience of any concept or program being taught through annotations on the screen.
