[Molvis-list] Illustrating lectures & notes w/ tablet PC

[Eric Martz]

"Screen Capture on the Fly -- Combining Molecular Visualization and a 
Tablet PC in the Biochemistry Lecture" is an article in the Jan/Feb issue 
of Biochem & Mol Biol Education by James R. Cox of Murray State U, Murray 
KY. Although it deals with molecular structure, the principles can apply to 
teaching of any subject with complex pictorial illustrations.

The problem addressed is: how to enable students to have post-lecture 
access to customized, annotated molecular views projected in lectures. Cox 
projects 3D molecular views in his lectures from a tablet PC, annotating 
the images with longhand script as he goes. He then saves the annotated 
screenshots into lecture notes for later use by the students.

This is innovative educational technology, clearly explained, immediately 
applicable, and beautifully illustrated. Many figures showing the results 
are in the article
