i agree completely with Tom; using video for things that can be
displayed<br>
full screen on a computer will only reduce the quality drastically (at
least<br>
using current video technology as in the AG node).<br><br>
there are white boards that translate what is written on them to
digitized<br>
input for a computer to use with NetMeeting or the like; one source
is<br>
mimio.com.<br><br>
also, slides or pictures should be digitized and then used with vnc, a
web<br>
browser, or any other desktop app that can display full screen
graphics.<br><br>
hope this helps,<br><br>

I recommend not to use a camera to point at the white board.<br>
The resolution will never be satisfactory and the professors<br>
will go insane. Ofcouse if the class happens to be a psychology <br>
class then it may be desirable...<br><br>
good luck<br><br>
