visualiser

** A visualiser is a digital device that has connections to both a computer and a projector. It consists of a ‘stage’ and a camera. Objects placed on the stage can be projected onto a large screen via a ceiling mounted projector. The image can be captured on the computer and then annotated using software tools or saved for future reference. The visualiser enables a variety of non-digital resources to be shared with a whole class at the same time. For example, visualisers can be used by pupils to show the rest of the class their work. Teachers can demonstrate a technique to everyone in the class at the same time. Also, scarce resources, such as a single copy of a book, can be viewed by the entire class. It is possible to zoom in on images and display objects at high magnification, making it possible for everyone in the class to see even the smallest artefacts. (BECTA Case study 2007)
