• Affordable webcams – Replace the laptops camera with an easy upgrade that’s impactful.
• Live Transcriptions – This helps maintain attention and works in PowerPoint, Zoom, and – soon – macOS
• Zoom to record lectures – You can repurpose these very easily.
• Annotation software such as Epic Pen – Helps your audience see what you’re manipulating and drive home key points.
