Overall, I have found DemoPro to be a lot more solid. Of the two annotation programs, I’ve settled on using ScreenBrush, but it’s a close call.

I’ve found that there is a little bit of a knack to this, but it’s pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Here is a quick little demo I recorded (watch to the end to see both apps): Then you write and clear the slide when you are done.

ĭuring the actual presentation, you will need to invoke the writing software using a hotkey (by default alt-tab for ScreenBrush or ctrl-s for DemoPro). If you’re recording, it should be possible to delay the start long enough to allow you to do this. Once this has been done once it’s fine for the rest of the presentation. If I don’t, then the first time I try to write I end up exiting out of Keynote and just seeing my background. Important: For reasons I don’t really understand, I’ve found that I have to advance one slide (and then go back) by tapping the pencil on the iPad (equivalent to clicking the mouse) before toggling DemoPro or ScreenBrush.If recording, the screen recording software obviously has to be started first. It seems to work better if it’s launched after the iPad is set up. DemoPro is pretty solid and can just be left running at all times if you like, whereas I’ve found ScreenBrush to be a bit more finicky. I have always used a physical connection through a lightning cable, but wireless Sidecar does seem to be very robust. If you’re presenting, you’ll want to set the iPad to mirror the projector. Target the iPad in Sidecar (from the menu bar).Just be sure to wait a beat once it starts recording a couple of times I’ve had it cut off my first word or two. It comes with all Macs and is surprisingly good. If you are recording the lecture, you also need screen capturing software.

I tried a couple that are available (and pretty cheap) in the Mac App Store: DemoPro and ScreenBrush. You also need an app that lets you draw on your screen with a mouse. Unfortunately, I don’t think it is possible to this with a regular stylus, although I haven’t looked into it.

I’m using an original iPad Pro with the original pencil. To do this, you need a Mac running Catalina and an Apple-Pencil-compatible iPad. I was particularly interested in seeing whether I could take advantage of the macOS’s new Sidecar feature, which allows an iPad to serve as an external display (and supports tablet-like input through the Apple Pencil). I was never really able to get this to work: I would constantly toggle out of the annotation mode accidentally. I make all my slides in Keynote, so I played around a bit with the native annotations in the Keynote iPad app (i.e., using the iPad as a Keynote remote).

I have not revisited it but I would certainly encourage you to check it out (I believe it has a free mode so this is pretty low-risk).

Doceri is certainly a possibility it has been a few years, and it’s possible that it has improved.

Fortunately, the same method works well for recording lectures and posting them to YouTube.Īt the outset, I considered a couple of things that didn’t really work: I came up with a good working solution, then the COVID-19 outbreak hit and I had to move everything online. This spring, I was back to teaching second-semester sophomore organic chemistry and it seemed like a good time to revisit my options. I spent a few years teaching mostly lab classes and put this sort of stuff aside. For example, it has poor Apple Pencil support (at least as of a few years ago), and I never loved the way it would freeze the screen when you wanted to write something. This worked pretty well through many iterations of lecture classes, but I was never completely satisfied with Doceri it does its job, but there were small nagging problems. I’m a bit too uncompromising as a Mac/Keynote user (this should work with PowerPoint too), and I’d much rather use an iPad. Miami has installed smartboards in most of our lecture halls at this point, but I’ve never used them. This provides a bunch of advantages: it makes the students draw structures, which I think is important it controls the pace of the lecture and it substantially shortens lecture prep time by cutting down on all the ChemDraw. When teaching standard organic chemistry courses, I leave lots of blank spaces (e.g., for mechanisms). I like to design my lectures around slides that can be annotated.
