Pedagogical Ideas

PixiClips can be used in a variety of ways. Some ideas include the following:

  • Demonstrations - Create a audio or video overview as you utilize the whiteboard to demonstrate information. Perfect for conducting math or statistical analyses.
  • Diagram - Discuss the connection between ideas or theories as you draw the relationship between different components. 
  • Connect - Connect with your students by recording a video of you exploring course concepts. Record your video as you draw on the whiteboard as if you were doodling in front of the class.
